・Definition of cursive
Cursive is a style of writing. Unlike typefaces or block fonts, fonts have the characteristic of reflecting the writer's personality and style. Therefore, cursive is used when you want to emphasize beauty and uniqueness.
By the way, cursive is a name often used for English letters, but there are also kanji that are equivalent to ``cursive''. Kanji fonts are generally divided into five categories: regular script, gyosho, cursive, reisho, and seal script. Among these, ``gyosho'' and ``cursive'' are cursive.
・History of cursive writing
Cursive writing has a long history and was developed in various civilizations such as ancient Egypt and ancient China. In modern times, cursive writing has been used as a technique for calligraphy and calligraphy. Cursive, which has been used as a handwriting method, has come to be used as a digital font in modern times, and is used in a variety of fields such as logo design, advertising, websites, and signs.
・Celebrities' cursive signatures
When you hear cursive signatures, the first thing that comes to mind is the signatures of celebrities, idols, professional athletes, and other famous people.
Celebrities' cursive signatures play an important role as a means of expressing their individuality and personality.
Here are three cursive signatures of famous people.
Barack Obama
(44th President of the United States)
Walt Disney
(creator of Mickey Mouse)
Diego Maradona
(Former soccer player and coach who left his name in Argentina's soccer history)
Koichi Sato
(Japanese actor)
All of them are wonderful signs that express individuality.
I would like to ask everyone here,
"Signatures are only for famous people"
"I'm not a celebrity or famous person, so I don't need an autograph."
Don't you think so?
It is true that until a decade ago, it was rare for ordinary people to create their own signatures, but with the abolition of seals and the development of digital signatures, it has become more common for business owners, managers, doctors, and professionals to create their own signatures. The number of people who are creating their own original signatures and cursive signatures is rapidly increasing, especially among people who often sign autographs.

⚫︎Difference between cursive and block fonts
・Block fonts are monotonous, but cursive fonts are stylish.
Block letters have a linear shape and even letter spacing, giving a simple and clear impression. On the other hand, cursive writing has curved lines and characteristic connections, and can create a unique and stylish atmosphere. In addition, cursive writing takes advantage of the characteristics of handwriting, and has the effect of emphasizing the beauty and uniqueness of letters.
・Cursive writing is faster than writing in block letters.
Since block letters have a linear shape, it takes time to write letters. On the other hand, cursive writing uses curved lines that flow, making it much faster to write than block writing.
- Cursive signatures are difficult to forge
Cursive writing, with its curved lines and distinctive connections, reflects the characteristics of handwriting and is said to be difficult to imitate or forge. For this reason, cursive is often used as signatures of celebrities and important documents.

There is an app called " Cursive Converter " that creates cursive .
Comparison with speed-written signature ↓
If you would like to know more about other apps and services, please see the articles below. We also introduce the features of each app and how they compare with quick handwriting signatures.
These services automatically convert the text you type into cursive. However, since they are font characters, you cannot make them unique or arrange them.
・Create an original signature
If you want to create a signature that is even cooler and more unique than a cursive signature, we recommend creating your own signature. Original signatures have a special charm because they reflect your own personality and style.
When creating an original sign, there are two ways: you can come up with a design yourself, or you can hire a professional.
If you want to create one yourself without spending any money, please refer to the article below.
