In 1634, from Amsterdam, he composed a popular letter to his buddy Mersenne, a great researcher monk, in which he discussed Gallileus works. The biggest part of our glyphs is based upon this document. We have actually added some letters Descartes himself didn't use, like modern-day s and j (he used specifically s long and i instead of j).
A great deal of ligatures and alternates are improving the font, providing a much better look of real handwriting.
