UPPERCASE is Valentine-themed this week, with our display of vintage valentines for sale. I call them "pre-loved" since the previous senders have inscribed their names and intended loves in pencil. So in honour of handwritten sentimentality, for this week's Type Tuesday, we'll focus on penmanship. This batch of postcards (humorous cards from the early 1900s, also for sale in the store) are most interesting for the handwritten messages. Whether the sender had neat penmanship or messy scrawls, their inky personalities make each card unique. (View the full set and in higher resolution here.)
