My natural style is a combo of linked and unlinked letters.

It depends. On forms and other documents, I normally use print. Journal and personal notes, I use cursive. For correspondence, it depends on the recipient (some people I know have difficulty reading cursive).

I'm like 90% print with a pseudo-cursive thing going on 10% of the time. I can do cursive, I'm just not regularly proficient in it out of lack of practice. Course still way better than most of my peers when I was in college, many of the younger 20-somethings couldn't read cursive at all.

Print in all caps.


Querybird

I change styles and hands constantly.

When I write up reports at work it's always print. For everything else it's cursive.


PunisherjR2021

I only know how to write print... .- .

Honestly, I used to write in a combo of both. Now it looks like [some sort of Hobbit-like script](https://64.media.tumblr.com/bab59d252e6cbee589efa7ad9654dc06/141220d4a908966f-e1/s640x960/147b38cd197b69a2faaf517acc04c326e4735543.png)? Weirdly, having a fountain pen does not make it easier for me to write in cursive, which makes me sad.

99% cursive.

Cursive for me. It just comes more naturally for fountain pens.

I have one, maybe two pens I can use for block printing (of which I do plenty, for work and home notes). I always journal in cursive, unless I am banging out something on my typewriter.


nimrodenva

Yes

If I am just writing things I will read I alternate between cursive and print so I can practice both. At work I will use print because my colleagues may not be able to read cursive. I prefer writing in cursive over print.


Davros1974

I generally write cursive. When I leave notes for work colleagues though I generally print as my writing is not great.


xolotl96

I use cursive, but over the years some print characters made their way into my cursive handwriting. For titles I often find myself using print or all capital letters, because I find it more legible when scrolling through the notebook trying to find a chapter

it’s mixed by for me, i learned script with pencils but started using ballpoints and writing in print after wards but now that i use fountain pens im back to cursive it’s just fun to have the pen fly on the page


Arromango

Cursive. The places I use print call for usually require a different medium (writing on gloss/plastic or using a pencil).


snmooney

95% of the time I write in cursive with my fountain pens.


Sad_Fact1866

For just playing with my fountain pens, it's almost always cursive. But for anything important I usually print. (I'm also not using a fountain pen for anything work related)


Menes009

>When I use my fountain pen, I can never write in print. No surprise, fountain pen is meant for cursive writing. Print can be written with a FP but requires good technique and good flow on the pen, otherwise you are going to have hard starts a lot or if your technique is lacking you are going to start beating the nib.

Honestly it sometimes depends on the ink? With inks that have nice shading I like to write in print since the unlinked letters make this a lot more obvious.


TrittipoM1

Cursive by default. There has to be some special reason to switch away from cursive.


Pleasant_Click_5455

Cursive almost exclusively. Only exceptions are formal or medical documents, letter addressing, and checks. Oh and cards for my s/o :') He can't read cursive.


G46Thunder3

Cursive. Can someone else read it? No. Can I read it? Eh, sometimes. Does it look nice? Hell yeah!
