![]() ![]() PF Champion Script Pro is the most advanced and powerful script typeface ever made. Finally, it was programmed in such a way as to preserve handwriting qualities, by designing an extensive array of ligatures and alternate glyphs in all languages, never before released or incorporated within the same font. All characters were carefully designed with the proper weight in order to sustain harsh printing conditions (on special papers), a situation which affects mainly the light connecting parts of calligraphic typefaces. Small caps and their alternate forms were designed to replace the capitals which disrupt the flow of text within a sentence with their extravagant swashes. Four sets of alternate swashed capitals as well as a plethora of ornaments and frames (117) was included. Several characters were stripped-off their connecting lines in order to enhance legibility. lowercase characters were designed so they are less inclined, have a higher x-height and are less condensed than the original. An attempt was made to design a contemporary script typeface with classic roots, by following certain guidelines, i.e. These alternates are either applied automatically through an advanced programming scheme, or manually through several opentype features. Furthermore, a wide selection of alternate forms and ligatures is included for all languages, in order to accommodate diverse design aesthetics. It is based mainly on the manuscripts of the 18th century calligrapher Joseph Champion. Developed over a period of two and a half years, each one of the 2 weights is loaded with 4300 glyphs(!), offering simultaneous support for all European languages based on the Latin, Greek and Cyrillic scripts. This typeface was first presented in June 2007 at the 3rd International Conference on Typography and Visual Communication (ICTVC) and was met with rave reviews. (I f a script font does not fall clearly in only one style group, then it is shown more than once, in order to make finding it more likely.PF Champion Script Pro is the most advanced and powerful script typeface ever made. Each style is defined to explain how I would decide that a script font belongs in that style group. Here are my proposed groupings of Script styles. A font may be shown in more than one style group, if it is not clearly a member of just one group. There may be more than one style group in each of these rather broad categories. The complete Script Font Identification Guide consists of this Introduction, then a Status Pagewhich gives the Guide's current numbers for Script Fonts (both in the List and shown in the Guide), followed by fourteen parts that divide the script faces in keeping with my website's Formal, Artistic, Casual, Elegant and Strange ( F.A.C.E.S.) categorization scheme. Without their help, this Guide would not be nearly as complete or accurate, and I thank them all for their generosity and enthusiasm for this project. Last, but by no means least, the Reference List identifies the person (or persons) who supplied a sample to illustrate that font. Every attempt has been made to accurately reflect the true name of the originally created typeface, if it was known. If there are other fonts that are identical in appearance, they are listed under the heading of "Aliases/Look-Alikes". ![]() It also gives a code for at least one supplier of the font. The list contains the name of the designer of the typeface and the year it was designed. There is also a companion Script Font Reference List, also known simply as the List, which lists all the fonts shown in the Guide in alphabetical order. A few samples may have been scanned from books I have listed among my "References" and also from provider's font samples. Most of these font samples are from my own collection of fonts, but many of these font images were generously provided by other members of the newsgroups. ( I also provide a free font ID service, if what you are looking for isn't in these samples.) The reason for creating this Guide is to help answer some of the many font ID requests on newsgroups comp.fonts and by people looking for a font like one of these. For the purposes of this Guide "Script" will refer to any font that has the appearance of being lettered by hand, whether done by stylus, quill, pen, brush, pencil, marker, felt-tip, crayon or chalk. Because the term "Script" is used to cover such a wide range of styles, my first goal is to devise easily recognizable script style groups that will make the searches easier by narrowing the scope of each search to styles that are all relatively similar. This Guide is presented to help in the identification of the many script typefaces that are currently available. ![]() Script Font Identification Guide - Introduction ![]()
