Reel by Handy Mailing
Most “handwritten” letters you’ve received probably weren’t written by hand. They’re created with real pens, real ink, and handwriting machines that can produce personalized letters at scale while still looking like they came from an actual person. Why? Because people are far more likely to open and read something that feels personal than another generic piece of mail. It’s one of those behind-the-scenes marketing tools that’s surprisingly effective when done well.

@itsamewhatsername They still look obviously machine written. I think it’s the complete evenness of the ink that gives it away. We vary our pressure when we write, and it shows. Machines do not.

@i_hate_internet_sometimes great so now you can train a model on someone's handwriting and make a robot arm replicate it with a pen. do people that make these things NEVER think of the consequences?
@thewanderingsatchel I still include a thank you note ** handwritten by me ** with everything that I ship out.
