January 23rd marks Handwriting Day – a day that reminds us how powerful and unique handwriting is. In a world increasingly dominated by screens and digital messages, writing by hand becomes a special experience. Every stroke tells something about the personality of the writer and creates a connection that no keyboard could ever replace.

Handwriting Day was established in the USA in 1977 by the Writing Instrument Manufacturers Association (WIMA). This day is intended to emphasize the importance of handwriting and its creativity. January 23rd was not chosen by chance: It is the birthday of John Hancock, one of the signatories of the US Declaration of Independence. His distinctive, large signature still serves as a symbol of individual handwriting to this day. Surrounded by fast, digital forms of communication, Handwriting Day is a reminder of how valuable, creative and expressive handwritten words are.
