Wow, very nice.....

 

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

Your link is broken. It should be

I believe that it is to a degree. It is also covered to a degree in Rosemary Sassoon's book - https://www.amazon.com/Handwriting-Twentieth-Century-Rosemary-Sassoon/dp/1841501786/ref=sr_1_19?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1522221300&sr=1-19&keywords=rosemary+sassoon

Oddly enough, I used the correct link, but the viewer used extra text as part of the URL. I expected that surrounding it with parenthesis would have avoided that problem. Thanks for posting the correct link.

I am seeing a common theme that I have bee missing.... the lower case R has a loop at the back of the R. I have not been doing that and NOW I see that it is commonly there and really helps to distinguish the R from something else. I have been leaving that out for a very long time...

Do you have any thoughts on this book?

Yes. I have the book, and it is excellent and well worth the price if one is interested in how handwriting or handwriting education evolved in the last ~150 years.

I really like how you do "H", I have not see that before!

I really like how you do "H", I have not see that before!

H or K? Because people are often befuddled by the K.

 

I was in the first year of elementary school in 1998, when English had barely entered that level of education, and I suppose the Academy of the Italian Language had no idea how to write the maiuscole K in cursive, or they did but they wanted to be eccentric, they wanted to be like Dante you know, world-ending creativity and strokes of genius, so they created that thing that is the now extinct maiuscole cursive K that you can see in Pilot "K"akuno.

 

I like how most of my classmates changed their handwriting near the end of elementary school, and many even abandoned cursive, while my whole handwriting right down to the signature is still back in 1998.

I was looking at "Happy times", so I assume "H".

 

I was a bit confused by the difference between "I" and "T", that is an upper case "i" and an upper case "t".

 

For example, I believe that the first line says "Greetings from Italy", and the "I" looks like a "T" to me. Although you do a different lead in with "Italy" than with "Thak....".

 

The lower case "k" does look a bit like an "R", but, it is better than my lower case "k"...

 

Is the ink "Shimmering Seas"? If so, your "S" is close to how I write "L".

 

I do like the ink that you have used.

The maiuscole "I" goes left, the maiuscole "T" goes right. Also, my "k" looks like an "r"? Oh my, I don't want that. Now I'm sorry for my penpals...

 

Thank you, the ink is rather nice without the crazy amount of sparkles. EDIT: Yes it's Shimmering Seas!

 

Argh, I'm tempted to write a list of maiuscole cursive letters now.

Do not worry about your "k", it would be almost impossible to mistake your "k" for an "R".

 

I find your writing pretty easy to read, and after I learned your idiosyncrasies, it would be trivial. I am currently striving towards consistency and good writing myself. I feel like I struggle with silly things like how to write "uv" or "or". The transitions have me a bit annoyed. But i will probably start a thread on those issues rather than trying to hijack this thread.

This sample shows italic, which I'm recently practicing, and my normal writing style.

His Medal of Honor pleased and thrilled his proud little family group While pinning it on..

some blood was spilled And so it was planned he'd command....F Troop!....
