About the Patrick Hand font
Patrick Hand is a handwriting typeface designed by Patrick Wagesreiter, first released to Google Fonts on July 2011. It ships with 1 weight and is licenced under the SIL Open Font License, which permits commercial use in websites, apps, documents and print without attribution or payment.
Its measured character is a medium x-height at 70% of the cap height, condensed letter forms and low stroke contrast.
