What Does Your Handwriting Look Like

Figured it couldn't hurt. I'm pretty new and haven't even started/tried to work on my penmanship yet. Nor do I even own a fountain pen so this is in pencil. Hopefully I can come back in a year with something a bit more respectable haha.

I've practiced (a lot) since I last posted to this thread. So, here's a new sample, on Rhodia No 18 with a Wahl Lady Doric pen with an adjustable nib.

Very nice writing, Joey! I notice that your handwriting doesn't have a slant, is that intentional? Overall I love your shading, it's done very well in my opinion and the writing looks deliciously bubbly.

Yes, no slant is intentional; I get wider downstrokes without a slant with a flex pen that I do with a slant.

This is mine.

I would like to improve it.

 

Any suggestions or comments?

 

I actually wouldn't change a thing, unless you want to write larger, which might be an easier read. I have a handwriting font that looks similar to yours and I think it's very cool.

Somehow just idea comes to my mind... :)

I think this is a very nice handwriting! Are there more extensive examples available? I'm particularly interested in those upper cases. Does anybody else know of alphabets that look like this? I'm looking for something that is not written with stub or italic nibs, but rather plain fine point or medium point.

It's indeed very nice. The letter forms are in the Spencerian or Palmer family and the pen appears to be a stub or cursive italic (possibly an L-oblique). (There may also be a touch of cursive italic mixed in for good measure, e.g., the lower case 'a' and 's'.)

 

I'm biased toward monoline Spencerian, but any of the business hands would look well with a fine or medium nibbed pen.

Hello, everyone. I'm a new member (just joined this past week or so), and I'm still relatively new to fountain pens. BUT I love 'em. A lot. ;-)

 

I always hoped that I could have a penmanship others would like, even admire, and with a fountain pen, I feel like I might have a chance. Here's my sample:

Thanks.

Grubi,

 

Your writing is charming, has personality, and is readable for the most part. The last could be improved by either using a smaller nib or increasing the size of your letters.

 

Welcome to the neighborhood.

I need to work on my Fs. I've been "engineering" my handwriting for decades, making improvements, but my latest improvement to my Fs seems... off. I am collecting examples of how other people do it (and NO, no Palmer method for me; it feels unnatural).

What does my handwriting look like? Terrible, simply, terrible.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
