The right pen can do wonders for your writing, especially if you want to leave a lasting impression. Similarly, the right handwriting pen for school can make such a difference for children when just learning to write or building their confidence. There’s so much a quality pen can do, so shop our range today! A change to the descenders, or “tails”, as in the case of the letters “f”, “g”, “j” and “y” helps make the spaces between letters clearer. Given the low x-height, this gives the lettering better definition. The same goes for the “l”, which ‒ without a loop – fits better with the other ascenders and the clearer style of this script. The individual letters of this handwriting style are relatively flat (low x-height = 3 stroke widths), making the letters somewhat broader, although they still create a clear picture overall. This effect is characteristic of the font and should always be maintained or even improved upon.
