About Jane Austen

Jane Austen is a handwriting font made by Pia Frauss in 2005. According to the readme, it was built from characters penned by Jane Austen and aims for an average image of her hand. The capitals are tall and looped, and the lowercase joins in a narrow, sloping script.

Some symbol keys hold extras taken from her writing: the # key types a whole "the", and the readme lists other keys that hold word endings, abbreviations and alternate capitals. It suits period letters, book projects, invitations and literary quotes.
