This paper considers the problem for constructing and reconstructing characters and words from handwriting experiments. First, handwriting motions are measured using a pen-tablet and stored as a 3-dimensional time series data. Then, the data is used to construct characters and words by employing the 'dynamic font' model and the theory of smoothing splines based on the minimum hand jerk model. Moreover, we propose a tuning method of the so-called smoothing parameter from an esthetic viewpoint of the resulting cursive characters. The effectiveness of the method is verified by experimental study.
