Marleen Script specimen from IngoFonts

A pencil-written handwriting script by Marleen Baumann, digitised with nearly 100 alternate letterforms and over 400 ligatures to replicate the natural irregularity of a personal hand.

About

Written by Marleen Baumann in Augsburg in spring 2010 using a sharp pencil on rough laid paper, the script was deliberately digitised with intentional imperfections and inconsistencies. Nearly 100 alternate forms and over 400 OpenType ligatures ensure characters rarely repeat, producing a result that closely resembles genuine handwritten text. Sweeping capitals, looping strokes and a pronounced leftward inclination define its character.

Classification

A casual, informal handwriting script based on pencil-written letterforms, with pronounced leftward slant and looped capitals characteristic of feminine handwriting traditions. Extensive use of OpenType ligatures and alternates simulates the irregularity of genuine handwriting.
