    I struggle to read handwriting from 100 years ago. Very beautiful but very formal in a way I’m not used to.

      100 years ago? I struggle with contemporary handwriting. You know how in many European countries, writing cursive is still the norm? Most people’s cursive fucking sucks, even those that have never written any other way. Print is far and away the best handwriting style if other people need to be able to read it.

      This is Sütterlin, a form of handwriting taught between 1915 and 1941 in German schools, until it was banned by the Nazis because of their weird obsession with typefaces
