    Seems there is a interest in cursive forms. I have been working on making cursive form of Eorzean for over a month actually might be 2 months now.

    Well it is not quit done as of yet, but this is my rough draft for the chocobo contest (if I get it done in time).




    As you can see, even though endings tend to be on wrong side to flow to next you can loop back. I have also made L look like English L and I for lower case I's. For T and F I create a loop on the top hook and this actually came to me after looking at the twin adder's poster.

    Also, characters such as e, s, and others I forget, you can trace back on them. With practice it is not to difficult. I do it all the time in English, especially with O's tracing back up to half of it depending how I entered it.

    If you guys like I can make out a cursive alphabet list.

    As with anything practice makes perfect. And, how Gramul so eloquently put it with his comic.

    For E's I got back and put the line, same as I do with T's with English.

    I've gone and done more exploring of this cursive idea after more studying of your guys' attempts and looking at cursive forms of regular Latin letters. It required a lot of undoing/redoing of strokes, but I wouldn't rate it as tough as I initially thought it would be, and here is the result:



    I also did this partly as a planned update to the fancier font I released because I wasn't satisfied with the lowercase letters in the initial version of it. As a result, the cursive is a bit different than how one might truly go about it by hand since I designed it to have all letters connect at a single unified height so any letter combination can flow together when typed (i.e. no high- or low- connection variations) as part of said font. Lower case "c" was by far the most annoying letter in cursive, and I did make one compromise where the final stroke of lower case "w" is not connected and has to be done like dotting an i or crossing a t. I made no attempts to include connecting upper case forms for now. In any case, you can use this as a basis and make alterations from there.

    For those interested in the font including cursive, I've got the Illustrator work down, but still have all the importing to do to actually make it a font, so you'll have to wait a little longer.

    Please look forward to it. Hai. *bow*

    Love it, makes mine look like chicken scratch.

    Not sure if I should just scratch mine efforts and use yours or not.

    Hello! Greetings to everyone. Normally I'm just kind of a lurker on the forums, but I thought I'd give this a shot... Kind of focused more on just making it handwriting, and not so much on where the extra little curves and curls are. x3

    (Sorry, it's kind of big. I didn't want to stretch the page or something.)
