Shake - The Typeface With Parkinson's Disease
To create awareness for Parkinson’s Disease, Morten Halvorsen created a typeface made from the handwriting of someone who has been suffering from the disease for eight years: his very own mother. This would allow her to keep on writing with her own handwriting as it diminishes, and to create awareness about the early signs of the disease. A new version of the font is to be released annually, to highlight the progressive nature of the disease.
