"Declare" is a font made from the handwriting in the final copy of the Declaration of Independence. This font is a formal calligraphic style that includes the old-fashioned tall s character. John Hancock's signature is included in the font. The handwriting is actually that of professional penman Timothy Matlack, who was commissioned to hand write the final copy of the Declaration of Independence.
George Washington "GWashing" is a font made from George Washington's own handwriting, taken from archives of his actual correspondence, written in the years before he was elected to be the first President. This is a less formal style that includes the old-fashioned tall s character in combination with a small s. George Washington's signature and initials are included in the font.
John Adams "JnAdams" is a font made from the letters of John Adams, who wrote hundreds of letters to his wife, Abigail, and to his American compatriots (including James Madison and Thomas Jefferson), as he went from lawyer to diplomat to Vice President, then finally President. This is a more casual-style handwriting font and contains John Adams' signature and initials.
