“This Is Just To Say” by William Carlos Williams set in Suomi Hand Script
Tomi Haaparanta’s Suomi Hand Script simulates everyday handwriting better than any font I’ve seen. It accomplishes the feat not with hi-tech OpenType magic but with hundreds of ligatures in the “Standard” slot, connecting pairs and trios of letters the way most of us do when we write. Suomi Hand strikes a balance between legibility and authenticity, readable at nearly any size because it demonstrates the natural rhythm and contrast made by the human hand.

23Via Gizmodo:
“Baumgartner will join United States Air Force Captain Joe Kittinger as the only man to jump from near space altitude. Kittinger jumped on August 16, 1960, from the Excelsior III balloon, which at the time was flying at 102,800 feet—that’s 19.47 miles or 31 kilometers up in the sky.
In fact, his right glove failed in the descent, and his hand dilated to twice its size. Absolutely crazy.
Hopefully, Baumgartner won’t have any of Kittinger’s problems. He will jump sometime in 2010, after a few test jumps at lower altitudes, as part of Red Bull’s Stratus mission. Kittinger will be assisting Baumgartner from the ground control, while the mission team monitors his position and body state as he plummets down to Earth, surpassing the speed of sound.”
