---

This LaTeX package provides the \handstroke command, which underlines a word or a phrase with a line that looks as if it were drawn by hand. A straight, ruler-perfect rule blends into the text and is easy to overlook, whereas an uneven, hand-drawn handstroke stands apart from the page and catches the reader's eye. The line can optionally be tinted in any color.
