The Calligraphy Stars Of Instagram

[Millefleurs]

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I saw this article in The New Yorker today and wanted to share:

An excerpt:

 

Getting rid of cursive seems to imply that one day no one will need to set pen to paper. Instagram calligraphy is a great visual argument for why “need” should not be the only factor in saving script. Watch long enough, and you, too, will start Googling “Lamy fountain pens” and “copper ink.”

 

 

Articles like this make me happy.
