  "github_readme_excerpt": "# xkcd-font\n\nFonts derived from the handwriting of @randallmunroe, the [xkcd](https://xkcd.com) webcomic author.\nYes, it really is his handwriting, and he hopes we [fix the pesky kerning](http://xkcd.com/1015/):\n\n![I have never been as self-conscious about my handwriting as when I was inking in the caption for this comic.](https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/kerning.png)\n[Credit to xkcd]\n\nThis repository contains two fonts, ``xkcd Script`` and ``xkcd``, each with their own characteristics (and limitations):\n\n### Font: ``xkcd Script``\n\n``xkcd Script`` is a font derived from a [handwriting sample](xkcd-script/generator/handwriting_minimal.png) provided by Randall.\nIt is far less uniform than ``xkcd``, and we think it is therefore more like a true script font.\n\n![Sample of xkcd-script](xkcd-script/samples/ipsum.png)\n\nYou can see the font as a [live preview](https://ipython.github.io/xkcd-font/preview.html), or \nfor more information about the font and how it is constructed see the [xkcd-script/README](xkcd-script/README.md).\n\nPre-built font files are available directly in this repository:\n[xkcd-script.ttf](xkcd-script/font/xkcd-script.ttf) | [xkcd-script.woff](xkcd-script/font/xkcd-script.woff)\n\n\n### Font: ``xkcd``\n\nThe ``xkcd`` font was originally created by Randall, and was used in [xkcd \"The Pace of Modern Life\" (April 1st, 2013)](https://xkcd.com/1227/).\nIt is considerably more uniform than ``xkcd Script``, which can result in more legibility at the cost of being slightly less like the actual xkcd comic.\n\n![Sample of xkcd](xkcd/samples/ipsum.png)\n\nThe pre-built font file is available directly in this repository: [xkcd.otf](xkcd/build/xkcd.otf)\n\n[Read more...](xkcd/README.md)\n\n## License\n\nThis work is licensed under a [Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 License](LICENSE).\n\n## Contributing\n\nContribution [guidelines](.github/CONTRIBUTING) exist to simplify the review process and ensure constency in the repository.\nIn addition, font specific contribution guidelines",
