Author's note

SL Sign Language by Su Lucas is a free sign language dingbat font built from crisp line drawings of expressive hands. The illustrations use clean, even outlines and gently simplified anatomy, giving each gesture the directness of an instructional diagram without losing its human quality.

Themes of signing, communication, and accessibility make it useful for educational materials and community event posters. It can also provide pictograms for digital graphics and children's activity sheets. Its strongest role is turning a sequence of hand gestures into the main illustrated message.
