Biró script package: Regular + Sloppy only
This package contains only the two versions “Regular” and “Sloppy” – including the US version.
Calligraphy is, actually, the art of fine writing…
…and actually, written scripts as typeface for the computer are 100% nonsense.
Biró Script is written freehand with a ball point pen.
Biró Script includes more than 300 authentic ligatures in addition to the customary alphabet.
And the OpenType-Technique makes it possible: The ligatures appear automatically like magic when entering the text.
For example, when you enter the word alphabet the program substitutes the letter order a l, h a and e t with the corresponding letter combinations al, ha and et. So, the form of the single character seldom repeats itself since it is mostly replaced with a ligature; and, with each combination of characters the result is a slightly different form of the individual character.
Type set in Biró Script appears remarkably similar to a text actually handwritten with a ball point pen.
By the way, the most convincing effect is obtained with a font size of about 18 to 22 points, at which the thickness of the stroke is now about the same as that of a real ball point pen.
