Biro Script Plus

Biro Script Plus Font Family was designed by Ingo Zimmermann and published by Ingo. Biro Script Plus contains 6 styles and family package options. An authentic script from the tip of the ball point pen.This hasn’t been seen yet: A typeface which truly looks as if it were handwritten.Calligraphy is, actually, the art of fine writing. And actually, written scripts as typeface for the computer are 100% nonsense. And yet, an obvious thought: Create a typeface which truly derives from everyday handwriting. And since we, if we write at all, utilize practically only a ball point pen anymore, then a modern cursive writing form must look like just that. As a counterpart to the artistic ”handwritings“ which have long been available as typeface, the thought of digitalizing a truly ”ugly“ handwriting is appealing. After all, time and again there is the need for a text to look ”handwritten“.Biró Script is written freehand with a ball point pen. Finally a truly individual script!Biró Script includes more than 300 authentic ligatures in addition to the customary alphabet.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.There's a difference between the anglo-american forms of some characters (esp. the numerals 1 and 7, but also capitals I and F) and how it's written in the rest of the world. For those of us who aren’t used to the world-wide usual forms, Biró Script includes a US version with the appropriate characters.
