Do you print with serifs?
When you print by hand, does your handwriting have serifs? Mine does. Is that weird?

1. Yes, I do
For a while anyway. Then my hand gets tired and it all becomes one big serif. :P

2. Is your writing easy to read? What purpose do serifs hold. I know italics
slow down the reader because of the little curls at the end so they should only be used for text you want read slowly - but what about serifs? Do they get you to read faster because one letter leads into another? Always wondered about that.

5. Serif


Seems like it would take a lot longer to write using serifs...? :shrug:

Actually I think I used to but I was criticized out of that habit.
