10 million people worldwide are living with Parkinson's Disease. The cause is unknown and it has no cure. But early diagnosis and treatment can slow the decline in quality of life.

One of the first signs of the disease is a change in handwriting.

To raise awareness and fund research, we created Shake, a typeface made from the real handwriting of a person living with Parkinson's Disease. All proceeds go to finding a cure.

My mother was diagnosed with Parkinson's eight years ago. And her handwriting has changed in the years since. I created this font to preserve her handwriting, and enable her to continue to write with her own letters.

Parkinson's Disease is a progressive disease. It will continue to get worse with time. In an attempt to capture its progression, I will release a version of the font annually.
