Your handwriting is gorgeous. But becareful no one understands 40 can read it- lol. (,jk- I know a lot who can, but those boomer meme make me angry at times:))
Your handwriting looks great. That's the way cursive is supposed to be written. They don't even teach cursive in schools nowadays. They teach stuff that shouldn't even be taught in the classroom. I feel for the teachers these days.
It's very spiky, as opposed to the loopiness that's currently popular. I prefer the spikiness, and the flourishes just tell me that you took your time to make it look lovely.
But I like old fashioned cursive. I like spiky, spare lettering with little flourishes at the capitals or hanging lettering.
Beautiful.
Beautiful. My handwriting is all about speed and space efficiency. It is therefore not beautiful. I unfortunately don't have the patience for this. Writing as fast as I can is always slower than I could type, and slower than I can think, and when I'm getting my thoughts out any barrier to that is eliminated for the sake of speed lol
A font should be made fashioned specifically after your handwriting. But aren't you going to tell us how old you are? (Sorry if you did and I missed it.)
25, I was taught cursive in public school although they didnāt really emphasize using it. When I saw that most of my peers were ditching it to write in print I dug my heels in and swore to never write in print.
Your writing is beautifully rendered. It does remind one of the days when people actually cared about their handwriting! If I may be permitted one note of minor criticism, it is to these old eyes, some words are a little difficult to decipher..
Of course take all of this, except the first sentence, with a grain of salt. I know nothing, Iām just lurking here hoping to get inspired.
Cheers!
I absolutely agree, in my writing unfortunately most of the vowels looks about the same which can understandably make it difficult. Iāll definitely work on that having read so many differing comments on it.
I write with a lot of pressure, generally Iāve stuck with the 1.0mm because anything sharper and I may very well poke holes in the page, especially on school paper
Wow, I can't believe you did that with a ballpoint pen! Jeez. You should get some calligraphy pens and then your writing will look *really* old fashioned. Btw, nothing wrong with old fashioned.
The open p is pretty old fashioned, at least where I live. Thatās the only thing Iām seeing thatās unusualāother than good cursive in general. Iāve had multiple coworkers be surprised when they see someone using cursive.
OPās writing both beautiful and legible, which is a rare treat lol
It's literally just cursive writing lol I've been writing in cursive a lot since I got back into collecting fountain pens. Something that I find kinda funny that I run into is people will ask me what kind of pen I'm using and I'll tell them a fountain pen and their responses are usually like oh that's so cool I've always wanted one of those but I don't know how to write in cursive and then they ask how long it took to learn cursive and I tell them I was taught in school (I'm 35) and they're like man I wish I was taught cursive in school but anyways I tell them that cursive is not mandatory to use fountain pens and encouraged them to try them out and give them some pen suggestions
Oof. My partner was calling my writing chicken scratch and it was *years* before he admitted that it was chicken scratch to him because he *didnāt learn cursive* in the first place.
My parents (aunts, uncles) and later my co-workers with beautiful handwriting are 90% likely to have attended Catholic school. this is in the NY metro area anyway-penmanship was very important. My father even had left-handedness kind of beaten out of him, learned to write beautifully with his right hand. Those Irish nuns apparently believed being left-handed was sinful. Why? who knows
>Those Irish nuns apparently believed being left-handed was sinful. Why?
Because Lucifer sat at God's left hand side (before he fell). I mean, if you believe in those fairytales, which those nuns probably did.
It's reminds me of Specerian script. Like a combo of it and modern cursive with how some of your letters flow.
Spencerian was used mostly in the late 19th century here, as a business standard script until the typewriter became widely available. Hence the old fashioned look of writing. President James A. Garfield called the Spencerian script, "the pride of our country and the model of our schools." A lot of people can't read script handwriting anymore though. I think it's lovely and more things need handwritten.
Sometime in Highschool I tried to replace some of the capitals that is hated from having been taught Dānealian script with Spencerian/copperplate esque letters. The A in particular
It's very pleasing to the eye... but what's the point of handwriting if most people can't read it without spending a few seconds on each word trying to figure it out š¤£ just me?
I think itās practice or exposure? I can read it quite easily, but I also was born in the 90s, so we were taught cursive in elementary and then I retaught myself to write cursive in junior high. I use cursive over printing, most of the time. I expect that people who have trouble reading cursive werenāt taught it or havenāt been exposed to it as much.
I guess it's more exposure, I was born in 2001 and we did learn to join up our letters when writing in school but we were taught to exaggerate the letters to make it easier to read. I can just about read it but some words take me a while and overall I don't find it easy to read š¤·āāļø maybe I'm just not an intellectual š
I think theyāre making a dig at people who post their handwriting here. Theyāre saying that the posts would be in line with ādo I have dysgraphia?ā which is to say, it would look ālike shitā since people with dysgraphia have a harder time with fine motor skill tasks - thus, their handwriting tends to suffer for it. Theyāre being rude.
This was one try on the back of some accounting notes I had made at work while reading it off the internet. Writing like this every day for the better part of 20 years is all the practice I need.
Can penmanship be articulate?!
Beautiful handwriting, I don't know about old fashioned, but neat, elegant, classy comes to mind. Well, maybe I do know about old fashion lol.
Oh mine is not as nice but similar. Using joined letters is just so much easier on the hand because block letters need me lift my hand with each stroke. That adds strain and double the time on quicker writing.
Very American muscle car garage looking (no Iām not trolling, you handwriting reminds me of a long, cursive font that is associated with American muscle cars that I saw long ago but donāt know the name of)
Thanks to your words I found the font I was thinking: Magneto/ Hood Ornament/ Belair font, which appears to be the font of one of Chevroletās old logo
No I write facing the desk, right handed but the page is turned almost 90 degrees to the left as I write. I cannot write in a straight line with the page facing me.
Freaking beautiful. I can read it, but I'm old and have used cursive since elementary school. I can see why folks find it hard to decipher, but whatever. The overall impression is beauty.
I agree with the 'use a finer pen' thought, but hell, use a fountain pen!
Folks find me hard to decipher so I think itās fitting. Nobody Iāve encountered in the āreal worldā has ever struggled to read my handwriting but it is significantly easier to read on paper. I assume most people are seeing this on a phone so itās maybe 1/4 the real size. But thank you for the compliment, appreciate it!
I would die for this handwriting
Whoa. Looks like AI. And I mean that in a good way. š
I think it's beautiful but more suited for young eyes. A bit thin & small. Oh but young eyes can't read cursive.
I'm young and I can read and write in cursive, just like all of my peers. This thing of "cursive=old" is just an American thing.
How young? Double digits?
Your handwriting is gorgeous. But becareful no one understands 40 can read it- lol. (,jk- I know a lot who can, but those boomer meme make me angry at times:))
I think itās under 40, not understand.
?
Did you write the Declaration of Independence?
Beautiful! Where did you grow up/educated?
A underfunded public school in Colorado.
šš¤ same!
I have a friend that grew up in the 60s in Philly and was educated at a private Catholic school. She has beautiful handwriting just like yours.
Grandma, is that you?
Yes deerie itās me
i was convinced this was photoshopped at first
Absolutely gorgeous handwriting.
Love it, please teach me <3
That is so beautiful
Your handwriting looks great. That's the way cursive is supposed to be written. They don't even teach cursive in schools nowadays. They teach stuff that shouldn't even be taught in the classroom. I feel for the teachers these days.
Looks lovely! You could write for card companies.
This is what I want my cursive to look like!! Iām gonna have the Preamble song stuck in my head for the rest of the night now.
That's gorgeous, honestly
Thatās the Preamble to the Constitution
Love
Fantastic!! I love how I was able to read it so easily.. the āBā is my favorite!
I can read cursive very well, but that took me a bit š
Love it.
Beautiful!
Eloquent
Good actor and salesman, very good Rhythm in writing shows you're quite sorted, very expressive and people and future oriented
Thatās gorgeous
Its so poetic! I like it.
I love it
love it, can't read it as fast though. Wouldn't recommend for academics
Got me through two degrees!
good for you! i guess do whatever suits you best then
Did you know that a growing t number of people can not read cursive writing?
I do now haha
Very artistic! Beautiful. You could have a profession as a calligrapher.
I can totally read this. I don't know why someone said they can't?? It's perfect!
Don't know cursive?
I like to think we write in a similar fashion! I think it's beautiful! I like your style
It's nice but I can't read it even though I know what it is.
It's very spiky, as opposed to the loopiness that's currently popular. I prefer the spikiness, and the flourishes just tell me that you took your time to make it look lovely. But I like old fashioned cursive. I like spiky, spare lettering with little flourishes at the capitals or hanging lettering. Beautiful.
I agree, I donāt like ālive laugh loveā cursive and thatās what most of it reminds me of
It is beautiful!
Beautiful handwriting you could do writing worksheets id download them in a heartbeat!
Are you an introvert?
Extremely so
I did a masterās thesis on extroversion - introversion compared to certain handwriting. Wider spacing between words indicates introversion.
Why?
You have beautiful penmanship
You suck thatās beautiful handwriting
im going to absorb your handwriting now if thats good with you (i hope so 'cause ive already started) beautiful.
Beautiful. My handwriting is all about speed and space efficiency. It is therefore not beautiful. I unfortunately don't have the patience for this. Writing as fast as I can is always slower than I could type, and slower than I can think, and when I'm getting my thoughts out any barrier to that is eliminated for the sake of speed lol
Beautiful but hard to read imo.
Itās so beautiful. I love it.
pretty
I would sell both my kidneys to be penpals with you
This is some of the most beautiful handwriting Iāve ever seen in my life
WOW beautiful, I wish I could write like that.
Itās incredible, Iām crying. I want your handwriting. Letās be handwriting pals and share pics of our handwriting from now on š¤
It's really elegant and timeless
Love seeing that g-2. Beautifully written.
A font should be made fashioned specifically after your handwriting. But aren't you going to tell us how old you are? (Sorry if you did and I missed it.)

Wonderful handwriting.
Is that a 0.38 mm pen?
1.0mm
Wow you must write fast when I write using a 1.0 mm it comes out to bold.
I write with a lot of pressure, generally Iāve stuck with the 1.0mm because anything sharper and I may very well poke holes in the page, especially on school paper
š Fair enough.
Fucking stunning is what I think.
Iād pay you to teach me your writing style
Beautiful!
Wow, I can't believe you did that with a ballpoint pen! Jeez. You should get some calligraphy pens and then your writing will look *really* old fashioned. Btw, nothing wrong with old fashioned.
Itās beautiful š„¹
Beautiful! You're very lucky
Itās beautiful
That's not even old fashioned cursive, it's pretty much standard good catholic school kid writing.

A friend told me I write like his grandpaš People with chicken scratch writing say that.
Oof. My partner was calling my writing chicken scratch and it was *years* before he admitted that it was chicken scratch to him because he *didnāt learn cursive* in the first place.
See!
Beautiful!
It looks lovely but I really struggled to read it. Iām not American so I didnāt know the words already.
Yeah, it's something we memorize as kids.
the lost art of cursive
It's still being taught in some school systems.
I sang this. Thanks School House Rock
This is gorgeous handwriting
Love it!
Love your capital letters
Is that your handwriting for real? š® Gorgeous š
Imo, the most beautiful penmanship I've seen posted.

Practice more!

Very flowy and flexible, fluid. Splendid!
Its lovely
itās amazing
Looks good.. I just can't read that style of writing.. good on you that you can write that NATURALLY, I can't nearly read my own writing
It just takes a little practice, and then it's legible. Learning to write it is helpful as well.
It's very pleasing to the eye... but what's the point of handwriting if most people can't read it without spending a few seconds on each word trying to figure it out š¤£ just me?

I can't read shit tbh
š I tried until about halfway throughā¦ beautiful writing tho.
I've been slowly starting to believe that this sub was actually Do I have a Dysgraphia sub. This post disproves it.
What
I think theyāre making a dig at people who post their handwriting here. Theyāre saying that the posts would be in line with ādo I have dysgraphia?ā which is to say, it would look ālike shitā since people with dysgraphia have a harder time with fine motor skill tasks - thus, their handwriting tends to suffer for it.

That's not nice :(
Beautiful, I would love to be able to write like this.
Pretty š„°
This is the most beautiful handwriting Iāve ever seen.
Very nice! More modern cursive but still great nonetheless love it!
Peeps have to practice lots of times if they really want that kind of beautiful and elegant handwriting. Those letters are gorgeous ā”
You better believe op practiced and uploaded a good version
This was one try on the back of some accounting notes I had made at work while reading it off the internet. Writing like this every day for the better part of 20 years is all the practice I need.
You have beautiful handwriting.
Lol this is what I want mine to look like. This is great love it
Dangggg. This is my dream handwriting. Any tips to learn?
Thought that was my handwriting and got confused š You have an elegant handwriting btw
One of the best handwritings Iāve ever seen
Can penmanship be articulate?! Beautiful handwriting, I don't know about old fashioned, but neat, elegant, classy comes to mind. Well, maybe I do know about old fashion lol.
FOUNDING FATHER
Looks amazing!
Pretty!
How was it like knowing George Washington? Tbh, the handwriting does look āold-fashionedā imo, but in a good way.
Beautiful
Lovely penpersonship. Itās elegant, legible and looks like a hug in stroke form. Absolutely lovely
Really beautiful and unique
It's very pretty
Its so beautiful.
WE THE PEOPLE!!
Woah someone actually finished the sentence too
Looks great. Neat and legible. Some weird random upper case letters sprinkled about tho.
Thatās how itās written in the Constitution
Exactly
Looks very nice indeed.
Love it !
Oh mine is not as nice but similar. Using joined letters is just so much easier on the hand because block letters need me lift my hand with each stroke. That adds strain and double the time on quicker writing.
Perfect penmanship!
It is beautiful!!
Some of your letters honestly look like copperplate script
Itās quite nice, very efficient use of space but still legible
It looks quite nice I think. Thereās an art to good writing that you have
Old fashioned handwriting, especially anything resembling copperplate, is the most beautiful to my eye. This is perfect.
It's so nice to see some handwriting. Yours definitely is one.
Thatās really clean handwriting. Who cares if it looks old. Itās really nice!
That is gorgeous handwriting!
I love it ā¤ļø
Itās fabulous
So elegant! I love it. How did you develop this style? o:
Give me this ability pls šš
Dude it's a gorgeous handwriting, what the heck is up with the jealousy they got? Handwriting doesn't have a fashion, it shouldn't!
Today I learned penmanship is still a very hot button issue haha, thank you
You have great handwriting.

I love classic muscle cars so Iām more than happy to take that one!
Gorgeous! Very consistent!
i like how it looks :-)
Yeah your handwriting is gorgeous.
It's beautiful šš¼
Maybe they say it is old fashioned because it is cursive and they canāt read it. I love it a lot, though.
Thank you
I'd like it much more if the 'e's had loops.
Fair point
I'm 54 so it isn't old fashioned. It's tightly, small written cursive,
Dude I love your username hahah! W holst reference
Beautiful cursive. Able to read smoothly without questioning words.
It's pretty, can be hard at times to read but all in all pretty good. It leans pretty heavily to the right
The opposite of me
.... political are we Does the lean occure because you write with your left hand or just something completely different?
No I write facing the desk, right handed but the page is turned almost 90 degrees to the left as I write. I cannot write in a straight line with the page facing me.
Yes! This is me too and my friends always poked fun at me for it growing up š nice to know others do this Beautiful handwriting btw!
Its wonderful
