Description
The two handwritten styles for my conlang, Helfametl. The bottom-most is the translation ("Solitude", by A. A. Milne) for the top two. Top is cursive, bottom is print-style (which does differ from text-style).I'll edit this to reflect the IPA later, when time permits
Enjoy!

I am very impressed by this. I have yet been unable to make the jump from print to cursive or vice versa for any of my conlangs. I was able to tell nearly off the bat that these were the same language, so they're consitent, but definitely different enough to justify having both forms. Do you find that the cursive would actually be more efficient for a native speaker?

Thank you! I find that the print is faster for me, despite the fact that I almost exclusively write English in cursive. I'm not sure which would be more efficient for a native ... but I'd venture to guess that the print would be quicker, as there are less hand movements involved.

NICE! That's a very pretty looking script, both of them!

All but three of the lines have a rhyme somewhere! (Although most of that is purely because they end in the same word XD)

That's what I'm sayin'!

I like this! At first blush, the cursive reminded me of SΓΌtterlin, but then I looked closer and the forms were totally different.

Oh wow.. it does look like SΓΌtterlin! Especially here [link]

Looks very nice, especially the cursive version. I'd love to see a romanized version with glosses, too.

I'll have to add that as well

This looks amazing! I love your handwriting, and both versions look very real and believable. I'd love to see more!

Thank you! I'm looking to do more samples, and possibly develop gender-based writing styles as well.

Oooo, now that'll be interesting! Do you mean the letters themselves will differ based on the gender of the writer, or are you referring to actual writing styles?

Not sure yet! Just a random idea I had

Such a beautiful writing system. My Conlang Taimwan has a semi cursive writing system. It was inspired by Thai,Lao and Khmer.

Np, I'll make a sample after i post the writing system. I'm working on the "good copy" to scan to my Computer. What should the sample be?

Hmmm I dunno! I just picked something I already had translated XD

Nice! Adapting a writing system to cursive style is really difficult! I like the simplicity and "realism" of this style a lot. It looks very natural.
