As you probably know by now, today is Audrey's birthday. And I'm celebrating it by publishing Audrey Hepburn's handwriting font 2.0, a digital font that lets you write like Audrey in softwares like Microsoft Word. I had shared it some years ago in audrey1.org forum, but I've worked on it and made some improvements: characters with less imperfections, less space between them and a new special character, a little heart Audrey used to draw at the end of her letters:
I haven't tested the heart character in different keyboards, but it should appear by pressing Shift and the key next to P at the same time. A little version of the heart will also appear automatically if you have a weird character that my font doesn't recognize.
- If you have any trouble with the font, please let me know and I'll try to fix it.
- If you happen to find a handwritten letter from Audrey containing a capital Z, please tell me, because I couldn't find any.
Oh, I also improved the Classic Stars Handwriting Fonts page. I added a new Paypal donation button, so if you like the fonts and want to contribute, enter any amount you can give, otherwise just download them for free. Also, check the terms of use and the instructions. Well that's all! Just enjoy, Audrey wrote beautifully :)
Download the font: click here.
Edit: seems that Audrey and Grace's handwriting fonts are not working on MAC (they seem to be working fine on Windows). Give me some time to figure out what happens with Mac. I'll let you know when they're fixed. Sorry for any inconvenience.
You're incredible, Clara. I'm sure that Ms. Hepburn would feel touched by your work.
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to try your fonts, but I keep forgetting. And now my computer doesn't know how to process the file format of the Audrey one or the Grace Kelly one. The Ingrid Bergman one works though.
ReplyDeleteRachel: Aww, you're very kind. THANK YOU :)
ReplyDeleteEmm: Thanks for your interest! I can help you to install the fonts, but I need to know which Operating System are you using. I just tried the Audrey font and it worked on Windows 7 and XP. Please, let me know exactly what happened.
I'm using a MAC and tried to download Audrey font. it down loaded the whole file and I tried to insert the TTP but it somehow won't work from there. I got into fontbook and tried adding/installing new font and clicking on the TTP file, it seems like it's loading but then nothing happens.....
ReplyDeleteAny advice or clues?
Hi,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much first of all!
I'm really looking forward to the font. I downloaded it and all, but then, I tried adding a font to my fontbook (using a MAC) and it finds the TTP file looks like it's loading but then nothing happens...
anyway tips or advice?!
Emm: I figured out what happened in your case: you don't have installed a rar. file reader, but you can read WinZip files. So I changed both files to Zip, so please download them again. You shouldn't have any problem now :) Thanks for your interest!!
ReplyDeleteAudrey: Uhm, that's weird. Did you try to open Microsoft Word or another software like it to check if the installation was successful after all? You should check the list of available fonts there and look for "Audrey Hepburn's Handwriting Font".
Let me know if it isn't installed. If the problem persist, I'll tell a friend that uses MAC to check the font. Thanks for your interest!!
Wow, that's really impressive! I love the banner at the top that you made, too. :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, thanks Clara! My computer had nothing to read rar. files with!
