Dewey Library Hand Font
As I’ve become enamored with Dewey’s Library Hand handwriting style, I stumbled across this font created in collaboration between Nathan Hauenstein and Anna Craycroft that transforms Anna’s library hand writing into a digital font.

AP Obituary for Steve Jobs
A very thorough article about the life of Steve Jobs and his influence.
I couldn’t think of a more fitting tribute for Steve Jobs than this. His influence and vision has shaped the last 20 years and his impact will live on indefinitely.
Another handwritten card in the card catalog at the Multnomah County Public Library in 2005. (by Lost Dutchman)
This is one samples from a selection of old handwritten library cards done is variations of Melvil Dewey’s “library hand” which I am now completely smitten with.

French Ruled Paper
I think French Séyès paper, the standard lined paper used by French students, is the perfect practice paper for improving penmanship. Gridded both vertically and horizontally and providing four narrow rules between each grid block provides space for ascenders, descenders and uppercase letterforms.
An assortment of sizes and formats of French-ruled notebooks from Clairefontaine are available through Writer’s Bloc web shop ranging in price from $2.85 to $13.50
