Our Gift
The Sutton SignWriting script is Valerie Sutton's gift to the world. She first created SignWriting in 1974. Since then, she has continued to develop, promote, and encourage the use of SignWriting throughout the world.
The Formal SignWriting encoding and infrastructure is Steve Slevinski's gift to the world. He joined Valerie Sutton in 2004 after several previous generations of writers and developers. Working together, the Sutton-Slevinski collaboration created the Sutton SignWriting standards of 2010, 2012, and 2017 that we all use today.
Our licenses are open and permissive, including the Open Font License, MIT, and Creative Commons. Use of Sutton SignWriting characters, fonts, packages, and data is open to all. Sutton SignWriting can be used for education, research, fun, and for profit.
Our Request
Use Sutton SignWriting and enjoy.
If you are able, consider financially supporting our efforts. If you are unable to financially support our efforts, consider asking someone you know who can.
In several ways, money is a limiting factor for what we can accomplish. We have big dreams for the future and we'd love to bring you more options and better tools. Fortunately, time is on our side. SignWriting is inevitable.
Your financial support isn't necessary for SignWriting to succeed, but your support will improve our development speed and quality.
