A discussion group on handwriting improvement. . . .

For anyone interested in upgrading their penmanship and in finding ways to increase their writing speed while preserving legibility.

Those with fast legible handwriting tend to use an italic hand where letters are not always joined and often resemble their printed form. Samples can be found in the file section. The Woods study confirmed that italic can be written 30% faster than Spencerian and other cursive styles.

Legitimate topics include handwriting repair, the teaching of handwriting, styles of handwriting, calligraphy, the history of handwriting, news related to handwriting, the writing of other European langauges, and writing systems in general.

No question about handwriting is off topic altho if you ask a question about graphoanalysis you will be referred elsewhere.

Those with an illegible hand are invited to scan a sample and save it in the file section for examination by experts. You can check out some of the earlier submissions at the URL listed on the left and here:
