A mathematically describable outline font and system for generating cursively concatenated text output using context-sensitive letter forms drawn from a single, standard ASCII character set. In creating such letter forms, each letter of the alphabet, is reduced to its basemost, non-context-sensitive form and joined by context dependent connector characters, as determined upon base letterform pairs. Special characters and connectors are also substituted in the presence of predetermined adjacent character pairs, providing an unbroken sequence of output characters which simulates human cursive handwriting as taught by the Zanerian method. Unlike script fonts currently available in the art which rely on overlapping or disjointed connector components in an attempt to simulate handwriting, the font and system of type generation disclosed by the present invention produces electronically set type having interconnected cursive characters and a common stroke width.
