Description
This theme is a text-first notebook that showcases handwriting-inspired typography through poetic, personal writing with a clean reading flow. Inspired by the Primarium project—an open-source handwriting system by TypeTogether on Google Fonts that models primary education handwriting—it links design with pedagogical research. It suits writers who favor reflective, poetic, and personal content over traditional blog posts.
