1: sometimes just a line, sometimes with serifs
2: I used to make the little curl thing but I stopped
3: not much variation here?
4: I don't close the top, but get pretty close (no right-angle-only 4's)
5: not much variation; I write everything but the top first, and then draw the top horizontal line
6: eh
7: I cross them
8: start on the right, make figure eight
9: circle first, then straight vertical line
0: sometimes clockwise, sometimes counter-clockwise (???) I can't actually decide what I do "most of the time"

Top is how I was taught in school, bottom is approximately what I do now.

What happens to my 5's is I start out at the top right but about half the time the top part is too short for the rest of the 5 so I end up drawing the extra bit on at the end. Every time I do this my 5 slowly starts looking like my dad's (who does that all the time and that's how he was taught)

I don't cross my 7 because I have that thing on top left to distinguish it from my 1. And then I just started adding it to my 3's for some reason.

Wtf, your own hand writing is a lot fancier than what they actually taught you :D
Micro at its best is like an elegant dance between two people trying to achieve a similar end.

I make up for it with extremely illegible letters.

Edit: Found the exact font they taught us to write in. Did anyone else here (most likely in US) have to do D'Nealian daily for like the first three years of school?

The number one has always bothered me. When it's in an equation or number, 95% of the time I just draw a straight line down. But when the one is by itself, like = 1, it looks fucking weird to me, some random straight line on a page, and I have to put a flat base and bent top onto it.

1: no serifs, just a line
2: w/ the loop
3: no flat top
4: right angles
5: top line last, being very careful to not leave a gap or any extrusions
6: standard
7: w/ a cross (I don't know why, I don't even serif my 1's)
8: I start in the middle, so there's less of a seam.

I'm more interested in 9's though, since I don't quite know why the teach the weird 9 with the 'kink' in in at school. Ever since I tried

for the first time I just couldn't go back because it's faster, and just nicer overall IMO.

Also avoids the ugly/ambiguous y-like-looking-9 when writing fast ( [image loading] ) issue I had before I switched.
