Can a new typeface reduce distracted driving?  I thought of suggesting Spencerian, and then imagined 30 car pile-ups.

That's a fascinating article! Thanks for sharing, Ellen. Spencerian would be SO much prettier but yes, might not mesh with navigation technology!  :o

I think the younger generation would crash before they can finish reading a sentence in spencerian!
But I think that spencerian would look amazing in a vintage car.  :-*
