I have never heard of this style of cursive, but I will look into it. When I read books written in generations past, I am struck by the common man's sensitivity to nuance and beauty and how dull and barbaric our current sensibilities are in contrast. Men noticed the subtle blush on a woman's cheek (they scrutinized it too, to ascertain if it was artificial). Children noted the types of birds they saw and in what types of trees they were roosting. Women saught to gague something of a man's character based, not only on his word choice, but his very handwriting when they received missives from new acquaintances. So much has been lost with the cheap, "memey" verbiage, the tawdry fashions, and the high-octane entertainment of our day.
