both handwriting and typing are used to convey information. they both use the same groups of letters to form words and the same groups of words to form sentences. however, in handwritten text, all of the beauty and the flaws are attributed to the writer, and more information about the author, especially emotion, can come out. the appearance of handwritten text can change easily with fatigue or excitement, while typewritten words look the same regardless of whether they were produced by a tired author or by a delighted one. because type is standardized, there are no fiourishes or misshapen letters to worry about.
