Fans of the late Venezuelan leader, socialist Hugo Chavez, released a font that can be used to type mimicking his handwriting in time for his 60th birthday.

The "bold scrawl" is known as his unique style because of videos and news appearances where he would write on boards to explain policies and develop ideas, according to Reuters.

Chavez died last year from cancer.

The font, ChavezPro, was developed by supporters who used letters he wrote from jail in 1992.

They digitized the handwriting and made it into a font, which can be downloaded from the Trinchera Creativa site -- which remains mostly under construction except for the font download and social media share buttons.

Nearly all media reports announcing the new font do not specify which word processor the font is available for, but one site -- El Venezolano -- said it can be used with Microsoft Word.

Marcelo Volpe, 26, the font creator and part of the "anti-imperialist" group behind Trinchera Creativa, told El Venezolano he began toying with the idea of the font after getting a tattoo.

Two years ago, Volpe got a tattoo with a slogan using Chavez's handwriting. He decided to design the font as a way for artists and designers to be able to similarly create with it.

Venezuela was alight with fireworks and celebrations across the country to remember the late "El Comandante" on his 60th birthday, according to Reuters.

His successor, President Nicolas Maduro, even went to Chavez's hometown, Sabaneta, to lead a ceremony marking the day.

The digitization of Chavez's handwriting is seen as just one more way of memorializing the leader, whom many had supported.

His signature and handwriting have been used, in red to symbolize socialism, on many shirts, hats and on walls of buildings, according to globo.com.

The social media hashtag #ChavezPro is currently trending with many enthusiastic about the creation of the young "anti-imperialist" group.

Trincha Creativa also tweeted the launch of the font along with an image on July 27.

A French publication, Le Point, tweeted about the new font by writing, "Times New Roman is dead."
