'''Waltograph''' is the name of a [[freeware]] [[typeface]] based on the lettering of the [[The Walt Disney Company|Walt Disney]] [[logo]]type.<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>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/mrg/sets/49427/ Disney using my fonts]</ref><br />
<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<br />
