'I really wanted to capture the feeling of the physicality of writing,' said Obsidian's jesawyer. 'When you look at how dialogue appears in the game, it doesn't just slap on the page.'
Even Pentiment's peasants have better penmanship than me.The Monastic script is by far the most intense.
Obsidian even simulated the effect of dipping a pen in ink for the cursive script."We try to replicate a mechanic that says 'I'm going to run out of ink, and then I'm going to dip again in the ink, and then I'm going to start writing,' says Pentiment programming director Brett Klooster."You can actually see that process represented in the font as it gets a little bit lighter and a little bit thinner.
A Pentiment font isn't just 52 glyphs . To replicate real handwriting, many letters need to be drawn in multiple ways to reflect where they appear in a word, or to add subtle differences between the writing styles of different characters. Creating those minute variations just wasn't going to work digitally.
