Handwriting done in pencil

Conté Script is a computer font but has the extraordinary look of handwriting. The model for Conté Script is my personal everyday handwriting written on normal paper using an extra soft-lead pencil.

This font is obviously not another ”Calligraphy font.“ This typeface is exceedingly lively, diversified and distinct thanks to more than 300 different ligatures, i.e. letter combinations.

The typical style of the pencil – crumbliness where pressure lessens and the deep darkness where the pressure of the graphite in its fullest denseness smudges – is another earmark of Conté Script. The font appears to be written quickly, fleetingly, casually, as if not really to be taken seriously, and as if it would be written one minute and erased the next.

Conté Script looks most ”authentic“ around the point size of 18 to 20.
