Eye Sort

[William]

I have been trying to classify two of my fonts using EyeSort.

The fonts are those used in the pdf attached in the following post.

Sonnet Calligraphic

Yesterday I was doing some writing about food and produced some text for a forum using Microsoft WordPad. Later, after I had written the text and produced a title, I decided to try to make a pdf version. During that process I decided to put the title in the Sonnet Calligraphic font and to try to use some swash glyphs. Thus the attached pdf is not an example devised to display some particular glyph or glyphs of the font, it is a document starting from the text and then using the font with the …

The heading is in Sonnet Calligraphic 029. How is that to be classified? Does it need something like B10 defined as “draughted using computer precision” or does the font classify under C4 or does the font classify under A?

The main text is in Gallery Plus. It is B8 as a handwritten font and something like A10 for its effect. What should be used? Or should there be another classification of a capital letter for “a handwritten font in the style of a text font” with numbers for sans serif to various types of serif?
