My favourite type of handwriting is the Victorian style copperplate, my brain just autocorrects it to pretty loops unless I really, really think about it

Handwriting is an unacknowledged art that tells us a lot about a period. Compare the copperplate to the (to us) more readable but functional modern handwriting taught in schools today. It’s like comparing a Renoir to a Damien Hirst.
