re: #302 KGxvi

my printing, I suppose could look a bit like handwriting when I don’t lift the pen fully from the page, but it’s usually still pretty obviously printed. I don’t think there’s any traditional cursive lettering in my writing.

Also, weird tick of my cursive in my signature is that the my lower case f’s are basically super narrow figure 8’s.

The “super narrow figure 8” is actually a different letter, recognised (though fallen out of use in the USA) for “long s.”

In typesetting, long s is confusing, as it looks like a letter f without the crossbar, or half a crossbar.

That letter is where you get phrases in print from the late XVIII and early XIX Centuries such as “In Congreſs Aſsembled”
