This thesis aims to address the evolving significance of handwriting by focusing on three key areas: its role in education, its influence on individual identity, and its relevance in the field of typography. The research specifically targets the Latin Script and takes a geographic focus on Norway and Germany, while also incorporating studies from other countries for a comprehensive analysis. In a milieu where digital competence is highly prized, the study explores what could be gained or lost as handwriting becomes a declining practice. By drawing upon both historical perspectives and current societal values, the thesis seeks to provide a nuanced understanding of handwriting's place in the digital age, particularly concerning its cognitive, cultural, and artistic implications.
