Hershey fonts [Allen Vincent Hershey] The Hershey Fonts are stroke-based fonts that were created in 1967 by naval scientist Dr. A.V. Hershey who worked at the U. S. National Bureau of Standards. They were described in Hershey's report Calligraphy for Computers (1967). Alternate link. The description of the strokes is done according to a scheme invented by Hershey. Free download of the English and Japanese font sets. In 2019, Elias Hanzer and Lucas Liccini based their experimental font Vincent on Hershey Script 1. For a more complete digital revival, see Luuse's Hershey Noailles (2020).
