Albert Einstein’s handwriting has been turned into a font. The brilliant physicist's handwriting was bold and idiosyncratic, with elements of calligraphy. German typographer Harald Geisler created this font, and has previously also created a font from the handwriting of the famous psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud. He tells us how he was able to reproduce Albert Einstein’s writing style. (Photo: Albert Einstein with his handwriting. Credit: Harald Geisler/Corbis/Hebrew University of Jerusalem)
