The handwriting of typographers intrigues me because it raises so many questions, big and small: Do typographers exert some extraordinary control of the pen that laypersons don't? Does a typographer's handwriting influence the typefaces they produce? Has the rise of digital communications made handwriting redundant? Do modern typographers, born of digital tools, lack the finesse of their more wizened counterparts? If so, does that change the way their type is designed?
shadow sign ok, this doesn't really work brilliantly, according to the photos, but the idea is pretty fucking cool. bent bits of wire to create the shadows. more power to the spotlights, please!

The lack of having to write definitely affects the quality of handwriting. I see it in my own !
