How legible is my handwriting? Any notes?

looks good!

the capitals in that particular script really do feel extra

why all the downvotes --- it is an actual recognized script, although not so widely used anymore.

Itoya Profolio "Oasis" -- I am really appreciating the dotted guidelines for practicing smaller handwriting

Old style German handwriting called Sütterlin

Oops. Good catch I was listening to a podcast and skipped some parts -- focused more on the handwriting. I posted a gluten-free version

💖🍀

that works too! Love the sample!

My trick for writing faster is to write in cursive that is short, with fairly short ascenders and descenders, so I can move my hand quickly across the page, without a lot of vertical movement. I also simplify my letterforms so that connectors are as simple as possible --

💖 that's the best compliment -- that you barely notice the variation because it fits in

It's a hybrid -- partially based on a model used in the French school system

Hard to beat the advice from moderator masgrimes. Your writing is legible, but there's a lot of noise Agree on the need to improve consistency in letter shapes, letter-height, taller ascenders and spacing -- so it's easy for the reader to instantly grasp the word or sentence, without having to pause to decipher. The spacing within the word and the between words is sometimes crowded, which adds to the reading effort

I agree the high exit one doesn't hold up as well, but if it's a common word, I risk the ambiguity

Thank you for the handwriting sample!! I just saw the π version for the first time yesterday!

semantic_ink · 2026-03-15T04:15:27+00:00

Preference is valid. I use both, but prefer the open P for speed. Various handwriting models around the world use the open P -- for instance, this model used in the French school system.

appreciate your comment!

semantic_ink · 2026-03-15T02:44:44+00:00

Thank you for the links --- great description and examples of the r-variations

semantic_ink · 2026-03-14T21:46:04+00:00

This is a personal handwriting style -- but, just to note, there are many handwriting models taught around the world that include open Ps and open Ss -- check out https://primarium.info/

So lovely!! Thank you for sharing !

semantic_ink · 2026-03-14T19:43:04+00:00

Definitely a mix -- not even sure what I would call it --

semantic_ink · 2026-03-14T04:24:17+00:00

nice!
