What Does Your Handwriting Look Like

Current Chicken Scratch Handwriting

When testing.....Place tip of nib on lunula pressing exceptionally gently.

See how it responds to pressure.

I have three handwriting types.

I usually use the middle one. I'm a chemistry teacher. When I write in the board in my classroom, I use the bottom one. The first is how I learned to write in elementary school.

This is my regular handwriting. (Now let's see if I can actually manage to post a picture).

I'll probably post way too many handwriting samples just because I adore handwriting.

Here's a sample of my poor writing-everyday normal paced-four pens and four inks

 

1) Speedball dip pen with Speedball scarlet red acrylic ink.

2)Esterbrook, Venus F nib Diamine chocolate brown

3)Jinhao 601 F(?) with Waterman black

4) Jinhao 159 F(?) with De Atramentis Document red.

 

On Fabriano dot paper which I can't seem to get used too.

 

I learned Palmer Method years ago. The nuns made me use a fountain pen because my writing was so bad. The FP improved it markedly. Over the years I slipped away from writing and for a time printed (poorly) almost exclusively. Over the years I can back to writing-and fountain pens. Now I want to make a serious effort to improve my writing and learn other styles. There are a few things from other styles that I have adopted over time modifying the Palmer Method base a bit. I've recently decided to adopt the open bottom high topped "p" and an older "G" I've seen on many samples of early 2oth century handwriting. If I could keep my letter heights more constant my writing would be much more legible.

First of all, this is a really great thread and I'm enjoying seeing everyone's writing.My writing is a work in progress. Here's a sample of what it looks like when I'm not thinking about it:http://rongilmour.info/images/handwritingNormal.jpgAnd here's a hand with which I'm experimenting. I can't call it "my" handwriting yet:http://rongilmour.info/images/handwritingPretty.jpgThe first sample is written with a Pelikan M205 F; the second with a Pelikan M400 EF. Both are unmodified factory nibs.

The second sample is awesome!! I hope one day I can write as good as that. Do you use arm movement when you write or finger movement or is it a mix of both? Once again, you have awesome handwriting.

This is my cursive.

 

 

This is the font that I created using my print.

Your hand writing looks quite nice, and the line variation is great. It's amazing how unique and personal everyone's chicken scratch is. Receiving a hand written note or letter sure beats a typed letter. It is so much more personal.

Thank you.

 

Each is distinct..like a snowflake.

 

Absolutely. I send handwritten letter{s} and they reply in kind. {freakin' happysmileyfacetimethingie}

 

It sure is.

My normal daily handwriting in two different nibs. I find the Broad smoother than the Oblique, but think the oblique is more legible. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the two samples:
