Print is predictable and impersonal, conveying information in a mechanical transaction with the reader’s eye.
Handwriting, by contrast, resists the eye, reveals its meaning slowly, and is as intimate as skin.

Really liked this. Most of my writing these days is on computer or phone. BUT, my most pleasurable writing is the use of my fountain pen. I journal every day. Its often the first thing I write.

I see the appeal in principle but unfortunately I can barely read my own handwriting!
