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.
