Hand written letters can be indented, but never anything other than Left Justified (LTR). Trully authentic, even those would be a little uneven
I do try and use a script/hanwriting font that renders nice on my PEz. I also consider the times and gender.
I have a rickety Typewriter font for those cases (before Selectric), Ransom note font. Chalkboard font. (gotta love Google Fonts
).
To me Letters, articles and Signs are special cases. They
may deserve a display font that is selected with care. Using a MICR font for a computer before the font was even in use by Banks, is just Hollywood wrong
(I don't ever remember a terminal that SHOWED that font)
I would never do a whole book in one of these fonts These fonts should ADD to the reading experience, not overwhelm it.
As always where artistic preferences are involved: YMMV
