Nah, even my wife's well written cursive is hard for me to read because similar letters like n, m, u, and r tend to blemd together for me.

Hell, I find all cursive fonts difficult to read and those are extremely consistent.

No matter how you slice and dice it cursive is harder to read than print.

[–] Maggoty 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not necessarily, unless you just never learned it.

[–] Coreidan 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well if you’ve never learned it then you won’t be able to read it at all.

There is nothing controversial here. It’s harder to read than print. Which is exactly why you don’t see cursive fonts.

Oh wow. You got me champ. You found a font in the world.

Now tell me this. When was the last time you saw someone use cursive fonts? Read any papers lately with cursive font? Any articles using the font? Anything at all?

Nope. Didn’t think so.

I learned cursive and school and it’s still harder to read than print. Is it impossible? No. But it’s definitely not the same as reading print. It doesn’t take a genius to understand this.
