I constructed a number of calligraphic faces using the "Expand Strokes" feature in Fontographer. (I am giving away secrets here.) Instead of constructing the entire path of the letter, one constructs a line which a calligraphic pen will follow. Then one sets the size and angle of the pen, and from that line a calligraphic font appears. Of course, the quality of the end product depends on the quality of the original line--garbage in, garbage out.

GretchenHello is an informal cursive face which looks as if it were written with a calligraphic pen. Some calligraphic faces are elegant, meant to be used in formal places such as invitations. GretchenHello is not elegant but rather pedestrian. It seems to work best at point sizes from about 15 to 32.
