Most fonts with a hand-drawn look do not come as a font family with several weights and are most often only suitable for headlines and not body text.
Conception, design and implementation of a hand-drawn sans serif font family, without the usual handicaps of digital, hand-drawn fonts such as same character shapes and poorly-developed characters.
The result is an OpenType font family "LINKE HAND" of Light, Medium and Bold-sections with almost 600 characters. In order to preserve the hand-drawn style, additional ligatures and contextual alternates were developed. This font is included in the Zeche Zollverein corporate design.
