'''<small>FIG</small> Script''' is a typeface designed by Eric Olson in 2002 for Process Type Foundry. <br />
<br />
The name <small>FIG</small> is an acronym for "'''F'''rank (Sheeran), '''I'''an (Chai), and '''G'''lenn (Chappell) who collaborated in the development of the [[FIGlet]] computer program developed to generate text banners, in a variety of typefaces, composed of letters made up of arrangements of smaller <small>ASCII</small> characters. Olson used <small>FIG</small>let in creating his <small>ASCII</small>-based <small>FIG</small> typefaces. Olson describes the <small>FIG</small> types as an "exploration into the generative possibilities type design software and simple grid structures." While suggestion of a raster is clearly visible in the face, a hominess similar to that found in nineteenth century cross-stitched samplers is also found. Many characters have swashes, and the overall effect is reminiscent of cursive.<br />
