The famoussss handwriting from Apple's "hello" screen, as fonts you can type with. macOS 27 and iOS 27 ship a font called Macintosh Skeletal for the personalized hello you see when setting up a new Mac or iPhone. On its own it only contains the centre line of each stroke. Apple's renderer thickens those strokes into tubes and joins the letters live. This project rebuilds what that renderer draws as ordinary filled fonts, with joins that follow Apple's renderer. Both fonts have two options, off by default: Crossing o and Join every letter (see below). With both off you get Apple's design. Weight is the pen thickness. Apple's renderer draws the font's strokes at 1.55× their stored radius, so that is the default (Regular). Any value in between works. Thickness is linear in wght from Thin to Regular and from Regular to Black, so every app shows the same result.…
