We have talked about calligraphy and handwriting before. The allure of what has been written by hand is undeniable. As you hold a crinkled paper in your hands and run your fingers over the marks on the paper, it is almost as if you could feel the soul of the words written by the sender.
Penmanship Porn, a website which Patri Fernández discovered and shared with me, works as a digital repository of any hand-written text, be it everyday handwriting, calligraphy or hand-written text on chalkboards, whiteboards, and signs.
Below you can see some samples of the type of texts you can find there.
And to conclude, a calligraphy sample by Fatih Öztürk, from Turkey, who is a true artist in this discipline and who presented me with this beautiful handwritten version of my name. Thanks, Fatih!
