Connected cursive in modern Greek?

Recommended Posts

I am looking for a sample of Greek connected cursive but I am unable to find the Greek alphabet written in connected cursive. Does anyone know where I could find it?

Greek cursive script with joined letters was used from the post-Independence period (1800s) until the pre-WWII era and was influenced by French and German cursive styles, but has since fallen out of favour — partly because it was considered a Western European influence, and partly because of the styles of standard detached lettering that were taught in the national school system from the post-War era onwards and continue to be taught today. Since the 1960s, a plainer, more vertical and somewhat more rounded style of lettering has been taught. Historically, Greek was written with separate characters, though ligatures were used in the Byzantine era. The late 19th-century and early 20th-century joined cursive style produced an elegant hand, which has largely been lost in contemporary Greece. 98DA7A8B-2F02-434E-BA01-9726C15A47F3.jpeg.b4313d2be8f5054562519fb397d3511e.jpeg

      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
