Obviously the letters connect, but where a given letter ends depends on the following letter, and where a given letter starts depends on the previous letter.
For example, in standard American cursive, b, o, v, and w have a top exit stroke, whereas the rest of the lowercase letters finish on the writing line. Combine this with the letter a, which has a top entry stroke, so the oa will join at the top, whereas ea will join from bottom to top.
- Aeolun 2y agoI don’t see how this matters? They’re splines right? Just quickly writing those down I see a very minor variation in how they connect, but ultimately that variance’d be hardly noticable. Regardless, the end of the o or e, to the beginning of a is still a straight line.
- anamexis 2y agoThe article gives explicit examples of where just connecting them with a straight line does not look right, and is noticeable.
- Aeolun 2y agoAbsolutely, and that’s how I can see that it has more to do with the form of the letter than the fact that joining without adjustment is impossible. Anyhow, I doubt we’re going to convince each other here. Since the tool is right there I might just give it a try.
- anamexis 2y agoAt this point I'm not sure what we're disagreeing about :)
