Bitscript is a “bitmap style” script typeface. Formally speaking, its letterforms are upright in style, and each letter connects to the one that follows. Bitscript is unique because it is not just a script font but a “bitmap script” font, which looks pretty refreshing even several decades into digital design. All characters in the typeface have been designed entirely with bitmap-style elements. Several OpenType features help to ensure that this bitmap-style upright script actually looks reminiscent of fine handwriting. For instance, Bitscript includes a lot of ligatures. These will all be on by default as long as you are working in an application that automatically supports the OpenType ligature feature, or allows you to activate it yourself. The ligatures remove any problematic connections that might otherwise occur in certain letter pairs, enabling this digital-aesthetic design to still have all letters in a word connect. Two Stylistic Sets include diverging connecting options of the letter s – which in and of itself is probably the most “script-style” letter in the Bitscript typeface. Finally – via another OpenType feature – users can substitute oldstyle figures for lining figures if they prefer them.
