My handwriting is a fairly haphazard mix of printed, school cursive, and idiosyncratic joined-up forms; which form of a letter I pick depends partly on context (the letter before and/or after) but also exhibits seemingly-random variation; I might write the same word in several ways in the same text.
In particular, the "ti" sequence has the two common forms: (1) vertical stroke; horizonal stroke forming the crossbar of the "t" and then going downwards to form the stem of the "i"; dot; and (2) vertical stroke curving to the right and back up again to x-height, then changing direction down again (like a "u" with a long left-hand side) -- this is the stem of the "t" and of the "i"; horizontal (but sloping slightly upwards) stroke followed by a short downtack (this is the cross-bar of the "t" and the dot of the "i" in one).
Typical features of my handwriting include a "d" which looks like a ð without the crossbar (i.e. with the final stroke curving to the left rather than going straight up and then down again); a connected "ng" where the "g" starts at the bottom, turns 270° counter-clockwise and descends vertically before curving to the left again (rather than the stroke completing the 360° circle, then changing direction to proceed downwards and then curve to the left); and a "g" which has only a hint of a curve (definitely not a complete loop) at the top, looking more like an elongated "s". |
