Raise your hand, Pandas who still have a notebook! (A handful of hands slowly come up.) Now, raise your hand if you write in that notebook! While we listen to the humming silence, I have to admit that in the past week, I scribbled out a single post-it note with my groceries list. The fact is obvious: typing has pretty much replaced the good, old and beautiful art of handwriting. (I am not looking at you, doctors!)
Cursive writing has become a skill on its own. Some states, such as Indiana, have decided to go on teaching it in school. Others claim that cursive should be cherished like any other great tradition whose disappearance would be a cultural tragedy.
So without further ado, we have some fantastic pen-spiration to write a letter, a Christmas card, or a diary entry with the most beautiful examples of handwriting. Scroll down below, upvote your favorite ones and be sure to check out Bored Panda’s previous lists with the perfect handwriting here and here.

I used to do this kind of thing in high school. If I saw someone's handwriting that I liked, I'd spend hours copying and perfecting their penmanship. It took years for me to decide on my own handwriting and even now it's got a few little quirks I picked up from others all those years ago!

Good penmanship is one thing, but good penmanship on a whiteboard is truly amazing.
To find out more about the art of handwriting and all the powers behind this undeservedly forgotten skill, we spoke with Lauren Mooney Bear, the chairperson for the “Campaign For Cursive” and the “Cursive is Cool Contest” for kids grades 1-8. “Campaign For Cursive” is part of the American Handwriting Analysis Foundation (AHAF). Lauren has been a handwriting analyst and graphologist since 1985.
If you’re wondering whether you have a talent for handwriting or not, Lauren said that anyone’s capable of it. “Handwriting, cursive writing and even calligraphy can be learned by anyone and improved upon with practice. There is an endless variety of personalities and the form of one's writing will ultimately reflect the personality and thinking processes of the individual writer.” Lauren added that calligraphy is a highly stylized form of written communication, yet it will still yield some personality traits.

If I could go back to my youth and had this level of talent, I would record every single day of my life in this style in a journal. So even the bad things that happened on certain days would be elevated into art, and wouldn't hurt that much.
Daddy’s Girl 1 year ago
Definitely a lost art form. So beautiful to see people reviving it. Simply gorgeous
Moreover, writing styles can be developed through practice. Lauren shared some tips on how to do that: “Choose a simple 'copybook' or style you wish to adopt. Practice needn't be arduous or painful. With only a short period daily, a person will master a good script in no time. Using colored pencils really helps to embed the cursive movements into the memory.”
She continued: “We also suggest playing light classical music during practice to help relaxation and improve rhythm and writing fluidity. One of the fun programs, for adults and youth, is called CursiveLogic (links below), another one is New American Cursive.”

Cybele Spanjaard 3 years ago (edited)
What a man..a poet, a husband a lover and a romantic and how they must have loved what you did with it for them.
Moreover, handwriting can be thought of as brainwriting: all of the electrical impulses that make you 'you' are in your writing, the handwriting analyst explained. “It is normal for handwriting to change as your thinking and emotions are changing but your core personality traits will always be there.”
That means that handwriting can tell more about our personalities than we’d think. “If a person tends to be cerebral and introverted with good attention to detail, it will show up in the spacing, size of writing, slant, even the punctuation and upper loops, among other things. If someone is outgoing, verbose, the center of every party, it will show in their handwriting. You might find larger, far right slanting script, open tops on the lower case o's and a's, small or no margins, and other indicators.”

the letters are beautiful, but I actually find this very difficult to read. it's the kerning. the letters within each word are spaced too far apart, which makes it hard for me to understand where a word begins and ends. it just looks like a very long string of letters. it's not IMPOSSIBLE to read, but I do find myself having to look a bit harder to distinguish the individual words.

Beautiful Cursive Writing. A Thing of Beauty is a Joy forever ❤️
Incredibly, even complex personality and behavior traits can be seen in the writing, like “manipulative traits, honesty, sense of humor, sarcasm. Handwriting can show math or artistic aptitudes.” Lauren also said that an expert can even see if a couple might be compatible or if one is well suited for a particular type of employment. “Of course, the writing must be seen as a whole, one trait alone means nothing,” she added.
When asked whether handwriting is being pushed away by typing, Lauren confirmed that many of our youth are not being taught or are overwhelmed by the use of technology. “However, it is good to know that at present, 25 states have mandates that some sort of cursive/handwriting be taught in schools. Scientific research has shown that the students who learn cursive at a younger age do far better in secondary schools and in universities and tend to excel in math, science and the arts,” she added.

“The good news is that newer technology will be using handwriting. Google and other tech companies are developing apps and input devices which will help to turn the tide. We are already seeing a rise in YouTube videos about handwriting, how-to's, and handwriting analysis,” Lauren explained. She concluded that once the tide begins to turn, it will move much faster than expected.
Sheila Lowe, president of the American Handwriting Analysis Foundation (AHAF), also told Bored Panda that “throughout history, people who knew how to write have been more highly regarded than those who were illiterate. It’s really important that as a society, we give our children the many benefits that come with learning this important lifelong skill.”
The president at AHAF added that, “Dr. Jane Yank, research chair of our organization, the American Handwriting Analysis Foundation, has recently updated our white paper on why handwriting is important in a digital age. The research that supports the importance of handwriting training is coming in so fast and furious, we can hardly keep up.”

Love this, the writing, not the subject. And really like that this person wanted the "r" to echo the dotted "i", the letter "k", and the tail of the capital "T". The capital "C" is also part of the elongation style, just curved. And even the writer's initials (guessing that's what those "marks" are) in the lower right of the picture has a long first "l" (?). The thickness of the letters reminds me of calligraphy, but more modern. Anyway, the whole style jibes. Really nicely done. Wish I could see the name of the pen or roller ball or gel pen used.

From A Local Sweet Shop

First of all, I hope the writer had Workers' Compensation insurance. By the time he/she got to "Cinnamon", I am sure the hand and arm were hurting! LOL! Next, did this person write "free hand"? If so, WOW! If not, and the person used a stencil of some sort, then WOW again. Only thing, it would take much longer with the stencil. Also hope that person had some kind of art smock of bib with a face mask - all that chalk dust! Next, what happens if a name has to be erased and something else written in its place? That looks like what happened to: "Chocofudge Brownie"(?) and "Mint Oreo" and "Black Raspberry" (all the way to the right and down near the bottom of the list). But even they look good, just not as fancy as the other names. Nonetheless, this is Out-absolutely-standing!!! :-)

I Came Across A Box Full Of These Hand-Written Journals In A House I'm Working On This Morning
There are more than a dozen of them, and they're all from the early to mid 1800's. Each one is totally filled with this handwriting.

Pure treasure. Nice the OP recognized they were something very special.

Great calligraphy, but is the profile of a woman under the 🎃 intentional? Love this.
Teri Covington 1 year ago
If it is a profile and a woman, she has an awfully long nose! :-0 But, maybe it is the "shadow" of the picture taker? [Sherlock, where are you?] :-)

Something A Little Different, Thai Penmanship
Teri Covington 1 year ago
This is only my opinion, but many Asian countries have the most beautiful alphabets. In turn, if practiced properly, the citizens of these countries have the best handwriting! Beautiful! Thank you for sharing. And yes, "Caitlin" you are correct! Perfect symmetry for pen and writing..

My Girlfriend Is Going To Be An Elementary School Teacher. This Is Her Handwriting
Teri Covington 1 year ago
Your girlfriend is gonna rock that classroom! No student will be able to say he or she could not understand the assignment or what was written on the board. Kudos for her handwriting! Very nice and legible. Just a suggestion - if and when you get married, let her sign both of your names to the marriage certificate! LOL!!! (And just kidding - I am sure your handwriting is right up there with hers.) Thank you for sharing.
Sue Sanders 3 years ago
I doubt it. She's just practicing to match the kids' teaching examples trailing around the room.

My Engineer Grandfather Wrote This In 1976 When He Thought My Dad Was Going Down A Bad Path
Sue Sanders 3 years ago
These days, this is an example of how to write way too perfectly, confusing the real handwriting with a computer font.
Teri Covington 1 year ago
"Sue" is funny, but correct. The handwriting is stunning, though, and shows the love and care he had for his son. So glad he turned out ok, and ..... here you are because of that. :-)

No comma needed on that last "patients'". It's not plural or possessive.

Since we've decided to point out the mistakes of others, then i'd like to point out that it's called an apostrophe, not a comma.

Here's A Little Of My Handwriting

You forgot to add "beautiful and exquisitely printed" in the title. And all writing off the bottom line. Nice!
Sue Sanders 3 years ago
So far in this BP segment, I've seen so many of this kind of handwriting that it seems to be a new fad. We had handwriting fads in "my day" but over the years a comparison from then and now shows that most gave it up for more traditional styles.

Pretty sure this person used colored chalk. The black board looks genuine, so you could only use white or colored chalk. Really nice handwriting job! Would this be during the pandemic? Just curious.
Solar_Eclipse 3 years ago
It's a sort of chalk-marker. It's liquid chalk put into a marker, so it doesn't squeak or anything when writing, but still erases easily.

Rate My Handwriting
Nope 3 years ago
It says: There's people that I love nearby, some others from whom I'll distance myself. There's people I'll go to hug, others I won't visit anymore. There's people I miss, some others I'll end up forgetting. I'm keeping what it's real. We belong to those who cheer us when we're about to give up.
Teri Covington 1 year ago
Forgot to add - love the pen too! Like the pink and blue circle stripes by the nib and up by the top of the pen. Which brand of pen is this? Thank you.

I've Always Liked Tinkering With My Handwriting. This Is The Style I've More Or Less Settled With For The Past Two Years. Let Me Know Your Thoughts
Teri Covington 1 year ago
It is relatively nice to look at, but just a tad bit hard to read. The spacing if a little uneven and the letters are not quite uniform, so all of this adds to the hard to read aspect. Tinkering is great, but if possible, please keep it so that it makes the writing legible at first look. Thank you for sharing and sorry this is late as a response.

If it makes you feel better, in almost five years of grading the notebooks in MIT physics, I saw some good handwriting but nothing on this level. These are truly exemplary, and the ones that are just "normal" handwriting (like the lab books and teacher notes) are definitely something.

I am a hospice nurse who used to sell my notes to classmates in nursing school. I am able to write quickly and beautifully, which is hard to say for me. Now, my love of handwriting is evident in my poetry and hours of practicing hand lettering. The example, which was didn’t make the list, of Turkish handwriting hit home. I’m half Turkish and am completely in love with the language. This post is one of ultimate favorites!
