    Hi All,

    My name is Leslie, and I specialize in single-stroke (aka monoline, hairline, sketch, single line, etc.) fonts of all varieties.

    I've recently introduced SVG fonts for use with the Hershey Text Extension, and have four of them so far. Two of them are print-style typefaces, and two have a dressy script style.  One of those has letters that touch one another and can be joined in Inkscape to make single words that have only one continuous path.  This is an enormous time saver for those who make items like wedding invitations, wooden cutting boards with recipes, etc.  One beta tester created a sentiment with 23 words and used it in her Glowforge - it took only 1 minute and 49 seconds to complete. 

    I'm trying to get the word out - I think a lot of folks don't understand them!  The work I put into them is a labor of love, and I know they would be incredibly impactful to the right audience.  They don't have extended Latin characters because of how long it takes to make them and their limited reach so far, but if I had enough interest I would be glad to add them.  

    I would be grateful for any feedback and would love to answer any questions you all might have.  My site is Single Line Fonts and my newest SVG font is here: SLF Carpe Diem SVG Font.  I thought of posting a limited-time sale code here but don't want to seem spammy upon introduction.  If any of you are interested in purchasing one, though, let me know and I'll create one.  Thanks for checking them out!
