Overview: American Scribe
The Declaration of Independence was of course authored by Thomas Jefferson, but Jefferson’s is not the classic handwriting on the copies familiar to most Americans. That belonged to Timothy Matlack, an early patriot who fought in the Revolution, sat with the prosecution at Benedict Arnold’s court martial, penned copies of documents for General George Washington, & lived to age 99. When the Continental Congress ordered the Declaration to be “fairly engrossed on parchment,” the task fell to Matlack, whose script was compact but neat & legible—perfect for the first & most famous of American documents. American Scribe comes with many discretionary ligatures, contextual alternates, both lining & old-style figures, & complete Central/Eastern European alphabets.
