Best Answer

The Bill of Rights, like many handwritten documents, was written in a style that was affected by the person(s) who held the pen and wrote it. It was not printed and therefore there is no single identifiable font that was used.

If you examine the documents, you will find that no letter is always written in the same way. This makes a comparison of fonts difficult, and it's only possible to give an approximate answer based on several fonts.

There are several good websites that carry fonts. The best way to find the fonts is to search for the font names and see what comes up.

Bear in mind that each font will have significant differences one to the next, and none will fit the original document exactly.

If you are trying to create a replica, you may have to use several fonts in the same document, then convert the text to an image, and then tilt or skew it to make it more like the original.

Here are two fonts that are close, with the font names to search for:

champignon: champignon.otf and champignonaltswash.ttf

adene kirnberg script: adinekir.ttf

If you examine other fonts based upon handwriting of that time, you'll find some interesting comparisons. One such font is jeffrson.ttf, which is based upon a sample of Thomas Jefferson's handwriting. As you would expect, there are examples of his handwriting that do not fit that font.
