About Biro Script

Biro Script is a handwriting font by Ingo Zimmermann of ingoFonts, from 2007. The designer set out to make a typeface that truly looks handwritten with a ballpoint pen, based on everyday writing rather than calligraphy.

Its quick, slightly uneven strokes look like real notes. The free reduced version has capitals and lowercase only; numbers and punctuation are in the full font. It suits notes, letters, comics and realistic handwritten graphics.
