What Does Your Handwriting Look Like

What’s up with the bad handwriting on the pen review sites?

The letters in the handwriting at most of those sites (“most” is not a scientific judgment but I bet is is pretty accurate–take a look for yourself) all seem to be drawn, with inconsistent sizes and shapes and slants. The writing looks like it was written by a child or someone with a physical handicap, or an older person that can’t see well

Finally having found a nib and holder combination that works, I find the cursive I forgot in gradeschool staring back at me. That really takes me back. I can smell the pencil sharpeners.

Guilty as charged....

 

Mr. Tom Kellie,

 

I find you writing very easy to read, and that is what matters most.

nodrog, you have very consistent neat writing. Wish I did, but this thread has caused me to start practicing with that. I did have a few issues with your writing.

 

You write the letter 'r' as advocated by Barba Getty (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0876781180), this is not a complaint, just a comment. Or at least pretty close to how she recommends.

 

When you write your letter 's', and you do not close the loop, I was reading it as an 'r'. So, when I saw the word 'statues', I was initially reading it as 'rtutues', since the top of the a is not closed in this particular instance. From the looks of your writing, you have a really nice 'a' in general; I am working on my lower case 'a'.

 

Immediately below the word 'statues', the word is, I think, 'lead', but the 'l' looks similar to the 's' above it and I first read it as an 'r', then an 's', then I settled on 'l'.

 

May seem like an odd thing to say, but your writing is just plain "pretty", or should I say easy on the eyes; just saying.

pitonyak,

I appreciate the critique. Thank you very much.

 

I wrote this at some speed without much thought toward 'perfection', so it's a fair example of my everyday handwriting.

 

The model for handwriting when I was at school was the Marion Richardson method, and I believe my writing is a version of this plus some italic, with errors that have crept in. My 'r's and my 's's are a weak point and I sometimes strive to differentiate them more clearly, but often they are interchangeable. Hey ho.

Here is two pages of Marion Richardson's handwriting instruction for reference:

 

This is the style I write to this day, albeit not as neatly.

Wow, very nice.....

 

Is that covered in this book https://www.amazon.com/Marion-Richardson-Life-Contribution-Handwriting/dp/1841505439 My guess is no...

 

 

I edited this because although I pasted the correct link into the post, I surrounded it with parenthesis and the viewer included the trailing ")" as part of the URL.
