About Tegaki
Tegaki (手書き, Japanese for “handwriting”) is an open-source library and generator that turns any font into text that writes itself stroke by stroke, in the order a hand would draw it. It extracts the strokes, stroke order and stroke width of every glyph in a font, then animates them on a canvas drawn over real, selectable DOM text, so the text stays accessible, searchable and copyable.
