Real people do not write in calligraphy for anything other than the purpose of writing in calligraphy. It`s not common use.

Take a pic or scan your handwriting. I`ll tell you whether it`s legible or not. My husband`s handwriting sucks, but it`s more balance and shape than anything nearing a mistake. Every stroke counts - if you screw them up then it`s going to be illegible.

Stylized calligraphy is NOT what you should be looking at to judge - but neither are any fonts as printed Japanese is different than handwritten.

Actually, I`m having déjà vu now... I believe I posted something very similar to this relatively recently. Do a search for fonts and hopefully you can find it.


If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.
