Cogncur Documentation - Font Styles
This guide given an overview of the fonts in the Cogncur font family.
Topics:
Slant
The Cogncur fonts are available at three slants.
Cogncur Vertical is written upright. The slant is 90°. (download cogncurvertical.ttf)

Cogncur Regular is written at a slant of 82.5°, or 7.5° from the vertical. The word 'Regular' is omitted from the font files. (download cogncur.ttf)

Finally, Cogncur Oblique is written at a slant of 75°, or 15° from the vertical. (download cogncuroblique.ttf)

Monoline versus edged pen
The Cogncur fonts aboved mimic the writing that would be produced by a monoline pen: a pen that has a round tip and produces a stroke of constant thickness. Alternatively, a few fonts are available that mimic the writing produced by an edged pen: a pen with a edged that produces a stroke whose thickness varies with the angle of the stroke.
Cogncur Edged Vertical is written upright and with an edged pen. The slant is 90°. (download cogncuredgedvertical.ttf)
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
Cogncur Edged Regular is written at a slant of 82.5° with an edged pen. (download cogncuredged.ttf)

Please note that real calligraphy usually does not connect all letters, and also uses different letter formation than 'monoline' cursive. The Cogncur Edged fonts are not calligraphy fonts.
Overlay fonts
Overlay fonts are used by the Worksheet Creator. In most applications, they are too hard to use. Below, the overlay fonts are shown combined with the base fonts that they overlay. The overlay fonts themselves only contain a few black dots, and most letters are blank. I do not recommend that you download these fonts, but if you really must try for yourself, you can find them on Github in the /fonts directory.
