- vanderZwan 3mo agoHey, that's the same one I was taught in the Netherlands in the late 80s! It seems to have been replaced with an English-style in recent decades though, is that the case in Germany as well?
- tomtomtom777 3mo agoYes. This seems mostly the same for lower-case, except we made a lower loop on the f as well making at one stroke. Also, our capitals were a bit more complicated, such as having 3 loops in the H.
- vanderZwan 3mo agoIt's fascinating how similar-yet-subtly-different the cursive writing is across Europe. I wonder if you could map them into something similar to language families (or type traditions, I suppose). Would there be any "language gradient" equivalents for cursive writing across the continent? Well, before the industrial revolution I guess, I'd expect that after that you'd see more singular influences of designers backed by the state pushing for standardization of education.
- sollniss 3mo agoAccording to the wiki, the Schulausgangsschrift is mandatory in 5 states and optional in 4 states (out of 16) (probably on a school/teacher level). So it still seems to be taught in some places.
- vanderZwan 3mo agoAfter searching a bit more I discovered the situation is similar in the Netherlands too: schools can choose between the two styles (or more like three publishers each with their own styles, really).
- hrydgard 3mo agoGot taught this one in Sweden in the early 90s. Not too surprising though, as much of the Swedish school system used to be modeled on DDR...
- aidenn0 3mo agoI encountered that on exchange to a Gymnasium in the '90s. I liked it better than the Palmer I learned in the US.
