American Scribe™

The Declaration of Independence was written by Thomas Jefferson, but his is not the classic handwriting on the engrossed copies familiar to most Americans. That belonged to Timothy Matlack, an early patriot who fought in the Revolution, sat with the prosecution at Benedict Arnold's court martial, also penned copies of documents for General George Washington—and lived to 99. Matlack's script was compact but legible, perfect for the first and most famous of American documents. Now you, too, can write that way. Has a full character set (and then some).* US$39. | Order

*The OpenType release of American Scribe™ adds numerous additional ligatures, standard and contextual alternates, lining and old-style figures, and complete Central/Eastern European alphabets.
