Different types of handwriting from Robin. 

Written in different kinds of mood, years and environment. So we could see how your handwriting gets influenced by surroundings and age. A handwriting is almost like a digital typefont, you have these different examples of the same font: italic, bold, thin, regular etc. We discovered the same with a handwriting.

Why is this relevant?

Through this experiment we realized that handwriting is so personal because you as a person gets influenced by your environment, age, if you are in a hurry and so on. And this influences how you write at that moment. A typefont is designed and this will be the same forever in all circumstances. 

We digitalized different types of our handwriting such as fast, precise, only big letters. So we could see that a person has not only one type of handwriting but more, depending on the environment and mood. We both choose a type and brought it to the lasercutter. We adjusted some letters such as the A so the inside wouldn't fall out when we cut it. Now it becomes a stencil where you can put your pencil through an duplicate your own handwriting over and over again. 

Why is this relevant?
In the future handwriting will be pushed away through typing, you see it nowadays with mobile phones and laptops. Typing is easier and faster than writing. Almost everyone has a digital device with them where they can type on, but no one hardly have paper and a pen with them. When a person hardly ever write anymore they forget how it works and handwriting will become unreadable due the lack of practice. So we made a stencil with our own handwriting so you can put a pencil through it and duplicate every letter in your handwriting when it was still nice and readable. So it won't disappear in the future.
