I have lovely cursive handwriting and I'm proud of it
My handwriting is anal sauce but at least at one point I wasn't terrible at calligraphy. Those two things are not related skills at all.
I enjoy hand brushed lettering, but I've never done calligraphy. Seems to be quite different than just having nice legible handwriting, its a much more structural process, more like drafting than writing
Somewhere in that region, yes. I find it much more of a process of drawing than writing, each individual letter gets specific attention. Maybe if you've done it enough you start picking up speed and start thinking about whole words.
It's beautiful when it's well done. Almost some sort of graphic art.
I wrote almost exclusively in cursive and it looks just as bad as my non-curskve writing (REALLY bad). Cursive is just so much faster and smother. Don't gotta lift the pen for each letter.
It took a while to relearn cursive as an adult but it def feels nice and flowy, and switching back to printing feels slower for sure
Plus it saves a lot of time when you're writing things out by hand, like birthday card wishes, or a diary.
And it wastes a lot of time when the recipient can't read a god damned thing written down.
That's their problem at that point lol
