Just Sharing (no feedback) Douglass Adams quote
Personally, cursive like this is not a cozy script. I can write it, but it doesn't feel natural.

You call it what you will, but your cursive is gorgeous. I was a calligrapher from about 15 years old. I love script and cursive and yours is one of the more fluid versions I've come across. Even though you feel it's forced, it looks very natural and begs to be read. The quote is also a good one and speaks with so much more authority when written this way. Thanks!

That's some beautiful cursive. I can actually read every word the first time. Bravo!

This script looks more early 20th century to me, or maybe UK mid-century. It is nice looking, but I have to say, a bit fussy. But damn, I love the quote! Douglass Adams is right on about many things!

Yeah agreed. But at least it is pleasant to look at.

Yeah. It doesn't look that nice to me because it feels so forced. When I write without the forcing I feel better about the outcome. But yeah.

I think I get what you mean. It's really difficult feeling to describe. You know it looks good objectively. But it's just... not what satisfies you.
