Chkuo: thank you! TAO: no voice-over will be inflicted upon the public at this time. ;) Christian: I haven’t read the book, but it sounds like something right down my alley.

In passing the same applies to every writing system I know of. Even the geometric fonts such as Avant Garde have a slightly variable stroke. Type designers as well as calligraphers know that variation in stroke is essential for reading and beauty. That's what makes handwriting with ball pens so evil.

Nice video and that ballpoint looks evil! Its oily ink oozes out in identical, bland paths that speak of conformity and obedience.
