'Albert Einstein Font' lets you Write Like Physics Genius

Few people can wish to obtain the feats of genius Albert Einstein, but now, there may also at least be a way to write like the famous physicist, way to a font styled after his handwriting.

The "Albert Einstein Font," that's based totally on loads of letters written by using Einstein himself, lets you "write like a genius," its creators say. The challenge is being launched to coincide with the one hundredth anniversary of Einstein's preferred theory of relativity.

thru the crowdfunding internet site Kickstarter, the task has already raised greater than $7,000 of its $15,000 goal.

Einstein is nice recognized for achievements along with standard relativity (his principle of gravitation) and unique relativity (his theory on the relationship among area and time). however the famous physicist also had dazzling handwriting.

"Einstein's equations have been lovely, so it makes feel that their presentation have to be as properly," said Phil Marshall, an astrophysicist on the Stanford Linear Accelerator in California, according to the Kickstarter site.

The project is a collaboration between typographer Harald Geisler and former dancer Liz Waterhouse. In 2009, Waterhouse turned into searching at words printed in a handwriting-style font on a napkin in Frankfurt, Germany, while she asked Geisler if he ought to design this sort of font. Later, they decided to develop fonts based totally on the penmanship of revolutionary thinkers, in line with the assignment's Kickstarter page.

Geisler spent six months poring over letters from the Einstein data before growing a prototype, which he created by tracing the handwriting with a virtual pen. The Einstein property has on the grounds that granted approval for Geisler to increase the font.

In real handwriting, letters are not usually written the identical way. To make the Einstein font seem more herbal, Geisler created numerous versions of each letter, which may be mixed with different letters in distinct approaches.

Geisler previously produced a font primarily based on Sigmund Freud's handwriting.
