Lucida Handwriting
Lucida Handwriting is a lively joining script that imbues words with warmth, personality, and excitement. Its deftly joined lower-case connects clear letter shapes into rapidly flowing texts, while its exuberant capitals combine into casual but confident statements. Kris Holmes and Charles Bigelow designed Lucida Handwriting especially for digital typography, so it stays legible even at small sizes on screen or in print. Now, its widely popular original weight is expanded into a family with two lighter and two bolder weights that give a friendly yet emphatic flair to a vast variety of texts and messages.
