The author talks about using this font to preserve their mother’s handwriting as her Parkinson’s progresses. That’s a really sweet and thoughtful use of technology to help someone cope with a really awful illness.
But outside of that usage, I can’t think of a tasteful way to use this font. I’m sure some folks may buy the font to help support the cause though, and that’s cool.
- staticautomatic 7y agoThat's ok. Not everything needs to be tasteful.
- tartoran 7y agoIt is a very useful tool to raise awareness for Parkinson's disease. If you don't have an use simply don't use.
- mbreese 7y agoIf you were concerned about losing your handwriting (if you were say - recently diagnosed with Parkinson's), you might want to have a font made that uses your own handwriting so that you could continue to write with your own style. I think this was one of the primary uses that was envisioned... not necessarily preserving a loved one's handwriting as an archive, but for the affected individual to use day to day. It's not just about the publicly available font (which is a great tool for awareness), but also the service to capture someone's handwriting as a font.
