Day 1 of improving my handwriting.
Posting my baseline handwriting here so I can compare after I get some practice in. If anyone has any favorite online resources, YouTube channels, etc. they've used to improve, please feel free to share!

More Seventeenth-Century French
I acquired another French manuscript for future artistic work. This one has lovely handwriting that I hope to use as the basis for a digital typeface. In early 1681, in the town of Castelnaudary, France, local merchant Nobian Marin requested documentation of some transactions for tax purposes. This document appears to have been drawn up by Pierre Fournier, the local Clerk. The signatures on the back of the document are especially striking.

Legible handwriting practice
I'm trying to get my handwriting to be as neat and legible as possible for work. My "natural" handwriting is so often bad even I can't read what I've written sometimes. I'm a nurse and I often have to take notes in a hurry.
Kind of trying to rip off Yanz1986 (credit to them for the style)
I'm writing on unlined paper on purpose to practice writing straight.

Spent 3 yrs on my handwriting, thoughts?
My handwriting was a lot worse back then though there's still things to be worked on, it looks better with a ballpoint but I like using fountain pens. Inspired by business cursive and tweaked it for practicality in school. Forgive the horrible lighting.

double-crossed t's question
a lot of people will cross both t's when they appear together, like in the name matt. lets say you have a word, tut. would you cross the t's with one line going over the u?

How is my handwriting?
Hi all, I think I have fairly nice handwriting but I struggle to keep my letters the same size, as well as keeping my letters on the blue part of the paper. Any and all feedback is appreciated!
Thank you!
