workshops in warsaw – digitalize your own handrwriting. more info click here

Find out more how me and my nephew Ignacy found a way to keep memories in one file.

One day I arrived to my hometown to spend some time with my family. I found out that Ignacy (6-year-old son of my sister), has recently learned an alphabet in the kindergarden. #howCoolIsThat?

I immediately came up with one idea–let's digitalize Ignacy's handwriting and celebrate this special moment! Ignacy wasn't very keen on this at the very beginning (playing Minecraft is obviously a better way to spend your free time), but eventually he devoted his time on writing the letters he remembered.

Just one disclaimer: I'm not a professional typographer and I'm not aiming at becoming one. I wanted to keep this project fun and playful and kept original Ignacy's handwriting as it is, without tweaks or typographic improvements.
