Likely yes. But regardless, my writing doesn't look like it's been typeset. Self expression will emerge from one's body without the need for unnecessary embellishment.

Tbh that's probably better then normal
When I'm taking notes for courses or when I have ideas firing off at a million miles a minute in my head I tend to rush my writing
Here's some shit from an old Spanish notebook
It used to be worse though
In high school my teachers would constantly bitch at me because they could never read my work
And as for before that I was homeschooled so it didn't matter
>>9454395
Holy fuck. Allow me to fix it for you (trying to save your structure):
La semana pasada leí un libro titulado «Shadow of the wind» del escritor español Carlos Ruiz Zafón. El libro fue escrito originalmente en español, y después traducido al inglés. El título original es «La sombra del viento».
La semana pasada, además, me visitaron mis abuelos. Todos juntos comimos en un restaurante japonés llamado «Kobitos».
>>9454433
Artistic as fuck.
To those that have nice handwriting: Was it something you practiced or did it come naturally to you? Do you add flourishes intentionally or are they a habit?
>>9454372
i don't know if it's just the novelty of seeing these kinds of diacritics in handwriting or what but i sort of like this
>>9454350
What kind of pen are you using? I like the way the ink came out smooth and fine, though perhaps that's your hand.
>>9454095
no, I have motor dysgraphia and you faggots will make fun of me.

>>9454766
thanks anon. pic related.
>>9454629
very nice, though I can't say I approve of you hyphenating a word in the middle of a line just because a g sort of got in the way. I also prefer to just write the entire word on the next line instead of hyphenating at the end.
my handwriting is trash. i've been doing graffiti since i was very young and i also avoid writing by hand as much as possible because i fucking hate it.

Check handwriting methods, like Palmer. Keep your elbow in a fixed position. Check the writing angle. Start slowly, analysing every letter. Practice every single day until you master it.
I was a bit nervous.
Just a random page of notes. I get compliments on my handwriting all the time. I guess they're just comments but I take them as compliments.
My 5th grade English teacher told me that a person's intelligence and the neatness of their handwriting have an inverse relationship. I really took that to heart.
Asperger fag here who forget the alphabet so they folded it over. There was no reason for me to write the "10" at the end either - I am silly.

I am quite aware that my X looks like a se
>>9455984
Yep. It is truly shit. In the class that corresponds to the note that I posted the teacher does the most ridiculous things. Oftentimes she would just read us slides word for word and then provide a could remarks about each bullet-point, but when she didn't know anything about a bullet-point she would just skip over it and say nothing. She would also spend sometimes whole class periods talking about her autistic son and how she thought that the mercury in vaccines gave him autism. College has turned into a joke.

>>9454095
Love your long descenders, OP, and your dash is both graceful and casual. I think your k and t are kinda wonky, though, bucko. Definitely male handwriting, perhaps gay?
>>9454110
Your print is textbook, no personality at all, but I think your cursive is excellent. You say you're trying to do that by the book, too, but I think I see a lot of your personality in it on certain wods like "The," "quick," and "fox,"––stately and self-assured.
>>9454293
This can't possibly be legible when over a whole page. I hope this is just your italic for special words! Or do you like to write in such a way that a casual glance won't be able to see what you've written? It's comprehensible after a little effort, desu, but I'm shocked if this is for everyday jottings!
>>9454345
I laughed. At least your print is legible! Some boy handwriting goes so haywire no one can read it.
>>9454350
Those i's won't tittle themselves, I suppose ;) .
Actually great cursive, though! Beautifully dramatic cross on the t in "handwriting"; exciting, flashy ascender/descender on the f of of. My only gripes are that you didn't start with a majuscule and that the p scrunches up. Still, if I were an ephebe, I'd let ya write on me.
>>9454372
Kind of ugly, desu, but schools in Europe enforce more of a rigid cursive style, no?
>>9454395
Oof. You take no pleasure in penmanship.
>>9454433
Sweet doublet of dubs! This is too stylized in my opinion; it's hard to read. I think you're maybe getting a little too swept up in the artistry of it. It would be brilliant on a birthday card or a formal invitation, like in place of calligraphy, but I can't imagine you write like this in your notebooks. If so, don't the words get all tangled up? Or do you double-space?
>>9454532
The majuscules look like they're from a webcomic. Big and fat. The minuscules looks kinda like my regular handwriting, actually. We have the same "the" and "fox." This is a nice kind of male handwriting, legible but not autistic.
>>9454629
Absolutely gorgeous. I would kiss this piece of paper. You've earned all the (You)s you've garnered.

>>9461396

>>9454853
Your numerals are insane! I also do really big ones, but holy cow. You draw them like that even in running text? I think your "The" is the prettiest piece, a very creative way to do the majuscule T in "The." The rest is a little cramped, isn't it? Gives me a kind of creepy feeling. And your full set of majuscules is scary. Why not just do a swastika for Z, lol.
>>9454892
Soo comfy. The only one so far that might be female (but considering /lit's/ demographic, probably not). This is also a little bit cramped and you seem to have a hard time deciding what's a descender and what's not. But still, very attractive, almost in a graffiti-tag kind of way.
>>9455151
Not a big fan of this; legible but not beautiful. Also the x looks like an R.
>>9455770
Pretty cute; very manageable. What do the bangs mean? Do you use them instead of asterisks to mark something as important? Also, did you black out your name? If so, why was your name sideways on a piece of paper that you owned? I'm trying to figure out what else it could be that's blacked out.
>>9455813
First things first: q ≠ Q. b ≠ B. Et cetera. Separate minuscule from majuscule or you will look like an illiterate eighth-grade girl who dreams of marrying early so she doesn't have to take the SAT.
>>9455829
Sei italiano o lo studi? Very, very hard to read, although I like the thick black lines.

You've got lots of problems, anon-kun. For starters, it was so hard to read that. Instead of looping so much, you should work to make your individual letters clearer. The "to" in "to fuck 'em" looks like a crossed h with an o trailing it.
>>9455879
America's Most Wanted Core
>>9455920
Your 4 and 8 are cute, but the rest is kind of garbled. It's not the worst I've seen, but you might want to improve it someday, since "quick" looks like "quock," and "jumped" looks like "templed." There isn't a one-to-one ratio between letter and symbol hereand don't aspies hate that?
>>9455942
Very nice and neat, although your kha is having the eternal kha problem of looking like rava: and so your sankhaye is really bad here. I slightly connect the looping part of the left half of the kha shape to the bottom of the other half so as not to make it confused with va. Me personally, my short u vowels (when attached to consonant) are much more stylized, a whole loop, almost like a fish, rather than just a dash. I also make my long u very abnormally, but that's just preference.
Here's the big criticism: Why the fuck is your topline not connected at the end of the word? That's serious shit, anon. You can't just write letter by letter. You should finish a whole word and do the topline LAST or it will look like shit. Your arjuna uvāca is painful to me. And why are your anusvaras and visargas so fat?

Cursive is really pretty and cute. The gothic is tough on the eye, a bit unsteady. Maybe that's because you had to fill in with a ballpoint pen rather than a proper calligraphic pen? Your semi-print (second line on second image) is boring, sorry to say. But at least you have great cursive!
>>9457672
My favorite ITT. Everything is stunningly beautiful. Your first mode is the best, but they're all great. I want to be friends with your hand.

Noice doobs. Very smart-boyish. I like it. I am also a big fan of Pilot G-2s!! Just never get the kind they sell with the totally-clear body. I bought these thinking they were my real Pilot G-2s but they were some crap version sold under the same label. It wasn't just a difference in fineness. I don't give a muffin about your grandfather; this is really good print writing right here! Gorgeous descenders.

>>9458145
It's not shit, it's just not fancy. I like your big bold "The." Ditto what anon said about writing straight. I also think you'd have some trouble with those gigantic descenders bumping into your other lines. Your w's and m's are almost indistinguishable, so you might look out for that.
>>9458160
Not nearly as bad as I expected. And it looks like we've got another Sanskrit fan! I see that symbol you put there :^)

Dunno about psychological, but I'd guess you're a 20-year-old virgin white male pursuing a college degree.Jk, handwriting analysis a shit; that just applies to more than 50% of /lit/ so it's the best guess. Definite male though.
>>9458558

>>9459748
At least it's still legible, although it is a bit wacko. The rounded letters like m, n, and h kind of remind me of Armenian writing, where they are all very similar. It's just boy handwriting; not totally autistikun handwriting. Not bad.
>>9460081
You forgot the letter s. If you want to improve, start by taking note of what's supposed to stay on the line, what go below it, and what go above.
>>9460991
I find this very stylish and sweet, even though it's just a basic, everyday handwriting. I imagine you're emphasizing the ascenders/descenders, since in a full notebook they would all clash. Pretty good!
>>9461022
Dubb. Do you really write with such separated letters all the time, or just for this post so you could show it? Your open p is European. No complaints on readability, but it does lack style (sexy k excepted).

>pimped over the layy dog

>>9461356
If I were the kind to say "kys," I would recommend you a little autonecrosis for that Greek handwriting. Just terrible. I hope it's because you're only just learning the language, otherwise this is unacceptable: lambdas like long-wienered pale nerds, forgetting the spiritus asper on the very first eta, milquetoast final sigma, that gross second rho with a tumor on it. I could go on, but I'd like to believe you're just starting out. Roman script is fine.

Be honest, anon. Where have you placed that object? Boy-as-hell style. Not flashy or interesting, but legible at least.
>>9461498
Disappointed at first, since I'd read the post as "old english-translation notebook," and thought you were foreign. But now I see it's an old-english translation notebook. You'd probably be helped out by ruled paper. Your handwriting would make my wrist cramp up, very shoved together with thick lines. Maybe get ruled paper and let it flow a bit more. The individual letterforms will become more distinct that way too.
>>9461522
>Do you really write with such separated letters all the time, or just for this post so you could show it? Your open p is European. No complaints on readability, but it does lack style (sexy k excepted).

>Still, if I were an ephebe, I'd let ya write on me.
Hnnng. Don't tell me twice. I'm into girls, but cute boys are ok too.
See pic related. Nobody realised that I use two different "r" (1, 2) and "t" (3, 4). I use 4 when I finish a word, as well as 1. But depending on the situation I switch between 1 and 2 inside of a word.
In 5 for example, I close with a 4 "t". 6 is actually my normal "p".
And as you mentioned before, 8 is my majuscule, 7 is my minuscule. 9 is the standard Palmer "T", but I don't like it at all.

Those rings are not a diacritical symbol. The rings belong to the scandinavian symbol å/Å, which is considered its own letter, i.e. not an "A" set with a diacritical symbol.

>>9461009
Hi anon, I used some books by Tom Gourdie. He has a bunch, some on handwriting improvement, others on italic calligraphy. You can find them second-hand online if you like the idea of a clear, plain style that can be added to easily. Also, Lloyd Reynolds book and video tutorials (both online) are excellent for more traditional italic. Americans may be more partial to Palmer or Spencer, I don't know.

I just started writing in cursive a few months ago. No method, just copying my mom's handwriting.
I want to get better.
>>9464300
Yeah, it's more a technique to compartmentalise the information neatly.
Every teacher I've ever had has commented on my handwriting and said it looks like spider scrawl. I'm left handed and not only is my handwriting impossible to read (even to me), I also smudge the ink since I write with my hand or the paper at a strange angle. Sometimes I skip a word accidentally since my brain is trying to write faster than my hand can move

Cuz I forgot my cursive
Until 16 I had OCD about my writing, used to cross out every "imperfection" in my writing and as a result redo things a lot.
I'm still a bit selfcounscious about it but its better now but I'm a lot quicker
When taking notes in class I basically use my own shorthand, I think only I can read it - non tall-letter are usually just a wavy scrible line, letters like j,l,k,g,... have their loop or jutt.
Here it goes, I'm the only one who understands, but you're welcome to try anyway
Do you guys think we can guess a hint of the person's personality through their handwriting?
