Cursive writing is in danger of being a long-lost art form. Most modern kinds of writing are done via real and virtual keyboards. Our monitors and our mobile phones do the bulk of the writing. When it comes to writing on paper though, much of the writing I notice from friends and colleagues looks like a combination of running cursive writing and block letters. I believe cursive writing needs to be brought back, and I have some compelling reasons why this should be the case.
The popularity of Promotional Pens

After all these years of working in the promotional items industry, promotional pens are still the number one selling product by sheer volume. The second most popular product is the promotional notebooks. Notice a theme here? Yes, writing on paper is becoming more popular.
Why Write Cursive?



Although writing is coming back, the cursive writing style may not necessarily be coming back. But what is cursive writing? Cursive writing is when your pen does not leave the paper until each word is completed. In the process, each word is characterised by strong loopy continuous lines. It is quite elegant visually.
Here is why I think cursive writing needs to be more popular:
1) The more you write, the more you want to write. Cursive writing promotes this feeling and as a result, better grammar too and more ideas.
2) When done correctly, cursive writing is fast. After all, if you are forced to never leave your pen on the paper, except to start a new word, it means that you will get faster overall speed.
3) The art of cursive writing has been shown to help people memorise concepts and information more easily.
4) Do you find it hard to do small details with your hands? Then cursive writing can help you develop fine, motor skills in your fingers and hands.
Types of Promotional Pens for Cursive Writing
To encourage cursive writing effectively, there are specific types of printed pens you should consider. Firstly, ballpoint pens are better suited as they don’t produce excess ink like gel or rollerball pens do which could smudge the letters. Next steps include:
1) Look out for soft grip handles or curved barrels to ensure comfortability since long-form script will require much writing.
2) Choose fonts on your custom logoed pens with either small serifs such as Arial Narrow but this might make the text difficult-to-read especially if written in smaller font sizes otherwise slanted fonts would suffice too (e.g Monaco).
3) You may choose retractable personalised corporate gift items than capped upholders so less time will be wasted accessing caps during continuous scribbling
4) Soft tip promo options enable smooth gliding motions over different surfaces both textured and non-textured.
Conclusion
So what’s the takeaway message from all this? Use branded timber pencils along with personalized plastic/stylus/papermate ball-pointers showcasing colourful logos accommodating distinct fonts specified by users – taking into account ergonomic design principles while choosing promos as well suggested colours; ultimately leading toward an increased willingness by consumers towards favouring aesthetically pleasing note-taking products allowing faster notation times whilst resulting in smoother memories recalled at later dates. All these factors lead to the revival of cursive writing as an art form, one that is both effective and elegant. Get started today with Cubic Promote.
