The font is used in other promotional materials and lettering. Just a quick listing off the top of my head: * the tag line "Linux for human beings" * The Full Circle Magazine * Ubuntu Brainstorm logo * Anywhere you'd like to convey an association with Ubuntu * Tons of other promotional materials Additionally, I thought it'd be nice for Ubuntu business cards. I've also been looking for a handwritten font style suitable for the training mode of CellWriter for better prompting, maybe it's a bit too stylized, but I thought I'd give it a shot.
