As long as the handwriting is on the wall, and as long as you don’t call me Font-facer, I’ll go by your script.
Would a a Nose by any other name still smell? :-)

You’re right, I should take it as a complement.

I hope these help:

So, to satisfy my own curiosity I asked a number of prominent typographers to send me a scan of their handwriting. This is the result.

And where’s the conclusion?

It is being hand written by a Fontfacer as we speak!

Rattling fountain pens, Batman! You are right! There is no conclusion for that Joker@#&%! :-)

So, the conclusion is like Waiting for Godot? or Has the rise of digital communications made the conclusion redundant?

Little did Erik Spiekermann know that when he submitted his handwriting samples that he would loose a long held secret. His sixth tool from the top, in the examples, proves that Helvetica was in fact derived from the scripts of Zaner himself with influences from the tablets from Ugar.

By the way, the term typographer originated in Ptolemaic times and was spelled with a P. They were the center of the universe.

Pandora’s box is open.
