What font did the Declaration of Independence use?
The "fairly engrossed" (i.e. neatly written) official copy with the signatures of 56 representatives of the 13 colonies which ratified it, and whose general appearance is familiar to most Americans, was handwritten with a feather quill pen by clerk Timothy Matlack primarily in a style of lettering we now call copperplate or roundhand, with the first line in a simple Roman style, and the second line and some additional words in a style called blackletter. The first mechanically-printed copies of the Declaration, 200 of which were printed the night of July 4-5, 1776 by John Dunlap and now known as the "Dunlap Broadsides", at least 26 of which still exist, were printed in a typeface called Caslon, which is still popular today. There are several computer fonts available for replicating the general style of the fairly engrossed Declaration. These include AL Patriot, American Scribe, National Archive, P22 Declaration Script, P22 Declaration Alternate, P22 Declaration Blackletter, US Declaration and vLetter Declaration. Beware that if you want to exactly duplicate the Declaration, only American Scribe and National Archive include the obsolete character known as the "long s", which appears several times in the Declaration. For replicating the look of the Dunlap Broadsides, there are many official versions of Caslon and many Caslon look-alike fonts available.

When the Congress adopted the final form of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, it went to a printer named Charles Dunlap, who printed several copies which were to be distributed to the states and armies. That copy had only John Hancock and Charles Thomson's (the Secretary of Congress) signatures. After the engrossed version was made and finally signed by most of the delegates another printing was done in another broadside, this time by Mary Katherine Goddard. There are several copies of Dunlap Broadsides and Goddard Broadsides still in existence.
Was the Declaration of Independence signed on July 4 1776?
The first official form of the Declaration of Independence was signed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on July 4, 1776. It was signed only by John Hancock and Charles Thomson as Secretary to the Congress then sent to a printer. The Declaration of Independence with all the 56 delegates' signatures was signed at later dates and perhaps in various places. It is not known for certain if that document was signed fully in Pennsylvania, because that signing did not take place until August 2, 1776 and not all delegates signed all at the same time.
