40 Times People Had Such Perfect Handwriting, It Gave Everyone An Eyegasm (New Pics)
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.

Chicken Tenders
Teri Covington 2 years ago
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. Or maybe a pen brush? Thank you for sharing.

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.

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 2 years 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.
