Nice handwriting! My cursive has gone downhill.

CatBusBand OP ,

I think the fountain pen actually improved my handwriting. My cursive on ballpoint pens look like chicken scratch in comparison.

I noticed this as well, made me focus on writing properly rather than ball pen chicken scratches. The problem is it is really easy to get more and fancy inks 😂.

There are two possible reasons (probably more) that the pen may actually be helping your handwriting here:

  • You're probably putting less pressure onto the page, which means that you're not fighting against that friction every time you need to change direction.
  • Your pen seems to lay down a pretty thick line - that's something that can often make the imperfections in one's handwriting less visible. (That's not intended as a dig at your handwriting, in fact it can be a useful thing to keep in mind if you're writing something like a birthday card where you get one shot at making it look good).
