The Challenge With Identifying Handwriting Fonts
Handwriting, script, and cursive fonts are notoriously the most difficult typefaces for any optical character recognition (OCR) or font identification system to match accurately. Here is why it happens and how you can improve your results.
Why Script Fonts Fail Automated Tools
- Connected Letters: Automated systems work by boxing individual letters. Cursive fonts connect letters (ligatures), making it impossible for the engine to know where "a" ends and "b" begins.
- Contextual Alternates: High-end script fonts (like those used on wedding invitations) often have 3 or 4 different versions of the same letter depending on what letter comes next.
- Custom Calligraphy: Many beautiful script logos are drawn by hand by a calligrapher, meaning no digital font exists for it at all.
How to Get the Best Results
- Separate the Letters: If you are comfortable with Photoshop or a basic image editor, use the eraser tool to break the thin connecting lines between cursive letters before uploading.
- Crop Capital Letters: Capital letters in script fonts are rarely connected to the lowercase letters. Cropping just the capital letter can often yield a highly accurate match.
- Review several suggestions: Connected script and hand-drawn lettering rarely match a font exactly. Compare specimens by eye rather than relying on the first result or its score.
