Normal writing angle.jpg

I'm envious of your hand writing. Do you have to write slowly to achieve that standard of writing?

 

This has been written, I would say, at "normal" speed. I can write much faster, but at the cost of a less consistent execution of the single letters. Slowing down a bit more allow a pretty accurate handwriting. Using a  flexible nib ensures that, even on daily writing, you may attain that bit of "character' that is produced by line variation, however modest.
