How is your handwriting?

I'd like to start off by saying hello again to all; It's been awhile since I've last posted on this website.

Recently, more than ever, I've been getting compliments on my handwriting. I am currently in the process of making my own font, since I have some friends willing to buy it (for like $2.50). I am also writing a paper for English on graphology and handwriting. I'm curious as to how everyone's handwriting looks; bad handwriting can sometimes mean the difference between a '3' and an '8' on a hole :)

Here is a sample of my handwriting from some government notes for my high school class:

Side-note: If you want to post a picture of your handwriting, imgur.com is, as far as I'm concerned, one of the easiest ways.

I don't remember the last time I wrote much. I'll try to find something and scan it so I can add to this thread. It's not good, but it's not terrible either.

I would love to see your 'handwriting' my good sir. Since I know your background as an established web developer and golf instructor, I'm curious as to how your handwriting would look (since I'm assuming you don't need it much). I'm going to school as a Landscape Architect; Not too hard to imagine after seeing my handwriting I guess haha

As far as writing where I'm trying to create a good impression, those days are fairly well long gone.

It feels strange doing it and my signature is the only thing I can write fluently and neatly.

 

Without trying to be overly critical of LHPM, his printing is reasonably neat and tidy, but it says a lot about current standards if people are moved to comment on its quality!

 

This is what anyone over about 70 would consider neat handwriting:

 

 

 

Thank you for your 'compliment' :) haha

I suppose I do have a fairly liberal view of 'handwriting' as anything that is written by hand (in one's most commonly used format). Which, is exactly what that was in the link I provided.

That handwriting is beautiful to the eye, and very elegant. I do not prefer to write that way in everyday terms, as it isn't highly practical (takes a while to read for most people).

I do write in a self-made, somewhat print/calligraphic hybrid for the scoreboards I have been hired to make for the local chapter of the U.S. Kid's Golf Tournaments.

Perhaps people commented that your handwriting is so neat you basically "write like a girl"?

It sounds like I have different views than most on the topic of 'handwriting.'

And yes, I get told I write like a girl all the time. I honestly don't care if they say I write like a girl or not. I take it as a compliment. People whom I don't know will rip the paper away from me and stare at it. I figure it's happened too much to be normal. I hate bragging, and I'm trying to be as far from it as possible. I'm just posting for research purposes.
