Deine Mudder Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 When does anybody handwrite anything anymore these days?? So to answer your question: basically never. One delivery guy made a comment on my signature the other day when I was signing for a parcel though, not sure he appreciated the sick stylez or rather just noticed that I wasn't able to stay in the designated rectangle.

~KRYLON2~ Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Most people just comment that my handwritten notes are very clean and organized, or they complain that I write in cursive and they don't understand it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abrasivesaint Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Every so often. Usually along the lines of “you have nice handwriting for a man..” i think they’re secretly assuming i’m gay. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morton Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 I do a lot of writing with spray paint for my work and get jokes and compliments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist 666 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 It comes up, but not too often. Between rap letters and an architecture degree my all caps approach just looks cleaner than any of my coworkers chickenscratch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightmareOnElmStreet Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Yeah, they mention it alright.....For a guy with ok hand maneuvers I have never adopted the same flow for regular writing. I have 2 sets. If I’m writing fast taking notes or some shit it’s fucking absolute trash. Awful chicken scratch. If I’m going a tad slow actually trying to make an attempt it’s straight. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakeenyc Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 yeaaa word for me there's a duality that doesn't cross over. my handwriting sucks ass, but if i'm on draw mode and doing rap letter stuff it's completely different/way better.

Fist 666 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 I'm like @NightmareOnElmStreet, I've got multiple handwriting styles. The one in use to put write things for the suggestion box at work is not the nice one. My grocery list hand is barely legible and takes as much time to decipher as it saves time to make the list in the first place... 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was an Urban Studies major so not Architecture but in that realm as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalashnikov Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I rarely, rarely write anything by hand anymore. It's all digital. However, about two years ago I had to set a new hire up at my job with equipment. I had to write ...I forget what the fuck it was, on a sheet of paper for her. She looked at it and said, "Wow! You have such cool handwriting! It looks like graffiti!" My handwriting is pretty neat but some letters have little twists to them. I just responded, "Meh... maybe in a past life or something." Thought the normie comment was funny though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I took a blue printing class about 10 yrs ago in tradeschool. They basically teach you how to write letters all over again, just like when you were a kid. That shit fucking saved my chicken scratch and now I regularly get comments like others have said, "nice for a guy" whatever that means. All caps, Uniform spacing, uniform height and width. Cursive is fuckin flawless too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALIgula Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 My cursive doesn't get any better and I've practiced a ton on it. I still write cursive how i did in the 3rd grade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misteraven Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Surprised @Jokerisn’t up in here. Letters he used to send me were so crisp and nicely written, it was painful. Can almost picture him with a slide ruler or something and taking days to write. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I think I had come in once before,@misteravenbut didn't post anything, for whatever reason. Not sure why, but I've always had decent handwriting. I rarely, if ever, write in cursive anymore, and instead choose to mostly write in print. Like most, my chicken scratch is illegible to anyone but me, but my everyday print is clean. Like Raven said, it can often look like it was done on a computer. Somewhat like @Fist 666my background is in architecture and design. By somewhat I mean that since childhood I have had a "thing" for architecture and design. I chose the latter as a profession but my love for architecture still runs deep. I used to study drawings and site plans as a kid and would redraw them in my scketchbooks, making up my own house designs from time to time, but it was the written print that is synonymous with architecture that I latched onto. And I found the more I mimicked the print, the more natural it became. Then when I started writing Graffiti my print became this mash-up of Graffiti print mixed with architecture print. Then sometime in the late 90s I made a conscious effort to clean my handwriting up, and it's been the same ever since. Back when Handselecta was putting together true Graffiti fonts I was approached about putting a font together for them. I didn't really understand the desire for my handwriting to be associated with Graffiti as it definitely has a more architecture feel than it does Graffiti, but I went with it. I was asked to write the alphabet a few times, and write a couple pangrams, and they made my print into a font. This is from the Handselecta website, but it's honestly what my everyday print looks like... 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnitzel Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 yeeks I would love to have that my writing is abysmal absolutely abysmal iI 4th grade my teacher had a huge thing about calligraphy so made us all write with ink pens and gave us sheets to copy blah blah blah. I think I was one that he kind of gave up on. Remember reading Tempt form Los Angeles saying "nothing is more embarrassing than calling yourself a writer and your hand jive is all sloppy" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intangible Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I used to do receiving in a warehouse setting. So I constantly got to flex letters and numbers all day long. I’ve been told I have nice hand writing a few times I can recall, but it’s probably because my aunt has the cleanest penmanship and calligraphy and I always wanted to emulate it.
