Full Version: Input on everyday cursive
I thought I would take a stab at getting some input about my normal handwriting.
Very nice and legible while maintaining a personal style.
I've worked hard at improving my handwriting. When I do well with it, it looks great, but it looks very generic. Just like the copy book.

It's legible and consistent with itself. I like it. If I were you, I would not bother trying to join that style of capital S to anything. The join just looks out of place. That would also allow you your other capital A, which I like better than the first one as well.
I too have trouble with "A" and "T", and love "F"! I wonder if I'll ever be able to write a satisfactory "T".. That little line in "F" is magical..
P.S. Your "O" reminds me of Glico's caramel.

It is enviably stylish and highly legible - possibly if you were writing something as crucial as a doctor's prescription, and intended to be read by other people, you might want to tone down style for leibility very slightly on some letters.
But really - I'm envious.

You're handwriting is nice. 
I've learned cursive writing in school, we had to write cursive for years but mine looks awful. Like a 7 year old who just learned how to write 6 months ago. It just doesn't work when you're lefthanded and hold your hand like I do (underwriter)So I don't use it anymore but I can give you a few pointers on the capitol letters. I wish I had a scanner but I don't so I have to use paint.
Your capital T looks exactly like how I learned to write a capitol I. Simpel solution but hard to explain in English for me.
See attachment below.
The first is how I learned to write a capitol T. The second is how my F was supposed to look like, this just to show you how these letters relate. I like yours fine too.
The third is just a fancy capitol H, that's the one I'd use if my cursive looked even half decent. Yours is fine, I just put it in because that's one of my favorite shaped letters.
Your T is what I'd use as a I. For a J I'd make the same shape but the bottom of the letter would go under the line where the I would stay on the line. The vertical bit of the letter J is longer than it is with the I, otherwise they are the same.
I didn't manage to write a t and f in paint the way I learned it . But your t and f are fine and IMO more legible.
I hope I'm making myself clear.
