'''Waltograph''' is the name of a [[freeware]] [[typeface]] based on the lettering of the [[Disney logo]].<br />
<br />
==Description==<br />
Several versions exist, some under its original title of "Walt Disney Script". The typeface is not, as many assume, based on the actual handwriting of [[Walt Disney]]; rather, it is an extrapolation of the Walt Disney Company's corporate logotype, which was based on a stylized version of Walt Disney's autograph. First released in 2000, Walt Disney Script was continuously updated and eventually renamed Waltograph in 2004.<br />
<br />
==Reception==<br />
Although the project is unofficial and not affiliated with nor endorsed by [[The Walt Disney Company]], it has been used by the company on occasions.<ref>{{Cite web |date=November 18, 2004 |title=You're a Character |url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/mrg/1580135/ |via=Flickr}}</ref><br />

One writer remarked that "When [[Mickey Mouse]] sits down to tap out his memoirs, we bet the title page will be set in Waltograph."<ref name="pcworld">{{Cite web |title=Waltograph description, Fonts Downloads List By 30 Day Change |url=http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file/fid,158060-order,4/description.html |website=PCWorld |accessdate=2012-03-16 |archive-date=2013-01-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130123043843/http://www.pcworld.com/article/232217/waltograph.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> Like the informal font [[Comic Sans]], Waltograph gets rave reviews from many, but not all audiences.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Waltograph Font for Mac - User reviews and ratings - CNET Download.com |url=http://download.cnet.com/Waltograph-Font/3640-2190_4-10355416.html |accessdate=2012-03-17}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Inviting Thoughts: Waltograph - Don't Do It! |url=http://noordinarydaydesign.blogspot.com/2011/07/waltograph-dont-do-it.html |accessdate=2012-03-16}}</ref><br />
