Cursive is something the next gen might only hear about or learn in art/typography school. Gonna be a thing of the old.
My dad's graduation certificate has the most beautiful cursive writing I've even seen whereas mine simply has a fancy print job.
Yeah, but i have found that I write differently if I am handwriting than when I type. So I think that it might stick around for that. And honestly I wrote cursive like a second grader for most of my life. I began practicing cursive for something cheap to do.
And like how learning some other musician's song on guitar ... a writer's cheat is writing out the works of authors one admires is a great habit to allow influence. So don't be quick to let it slip. And working on my cursive got me to start doodling and drawing again even in my middle age.
I'm one of those artists who write like a doctor. It's on my bucket list to practice calligraphy. Probably would get around to that in my own middle age. Based on my research it helps sort out a lot of pathways in the brain too.
