I'm Palmer all the way! Designed for speed and low effort, you use your arm and shoulders more than your hand. It's also rather elegant, IMO. I'm just young enough that I missed it in school and am trying to pick it up now.
But yeah, my brain is analog and likes paper. I keep a quadrille type hard cover notebook as a daily anecdotal. Or I did.... I can't find them with rigid covers anymore. Wtf???
Not familiar with that exact notebook, but if you happen to have a Daiso near you, I tend to find all kinds of unexpected stationary supplies. Japanese book stores often have stationary sections too. I’m like a kid in a candy store. :-)
My handwriting is ok-ish but these days it's mostly online communication, and auto correct is my saviour 🙄 However
I'm very envious of a few friends who have physical ace handwriting skills. One guy writes in 'Copper' plate font style and another who uses an architect style font. At least I can read and write without AI doing it for me 😮😁😎✔️ Cheers DougT 🇫🇴 🇬🇧
Obviously I won't be replying to comments, dms, or emails on paper, but gonna push myself to use it for my all my planning, journalling, and list keeping.
😎😁 Cliff is from a Grammar School background (Us: Elementary Exam School?) and I think it was drilled into them to use Copperplate script 😲 In fact I had coffee with him and Colin his partner earlier at the Home Cafe attached to an inclusive Emmanuel Church in a very fashionable suburb of Didsbury put in M20 6TR (6 Barlow Moor Road) and look around the money area on my doorstep. Lots of independent shops/cafes/restaurants and high value property 🥺
Sounds like a fun outing…I hope Ivory Tower welcomed you home, with its bridge lowered and trumpets playing. I imagine 3 dapper dudes practicing their penmanship over an Irish coffee and snacks. :-)
Living things, such as brains, organs and muscles and everything else, are analog. Welcome home again.

Your friend writes in Copperplate? I'm more of a Cooper...but way messier. :-p

This is English (Victorian) Copperplate script. font I ment
WOWSA! Very, very pretty. But I’ll stick with my chicken scratch. It gets the message across.

Your vivid imagination is working overtime. Yuppers I do leave and have selective friends and acquantances outside the Ivory Tower 😜
I’m so glad, dear Doug. You’re too lovely to keep it all inside. Just saying. :-p
