SVG fonts are perfect for pen plotters and CNC machines because they use single-line paths. Unlike traditional fonts that use filled shapes, SVG fonts allow your plotter to draw each character with a single continuous line, creating a true handwritten appearance. This makes them ideal for creating personalized fonts that capture your unique writing style or artistic vision.
