We've gotten a ton of requests for how we write so neatly! Let us know if you want to see more handwriting videos by liking the video and leaving us a comment.
I would love if you sold a how to book with practice pages. It would be great to have it all in one notebook with the thin sheets over the guidelines, chapters on letter forms, how to annotate, sample sentences and pangrams - all the wonderful advice you have in your videos and more. There are how-to's and practice books for shorthand and calligraphy, it would be awesome to learn the Jetpen presentation style longhand using these tools as well.
I've been practicing my writing skills since I was 10. I love this font. My current style is all letters are the same height and it has changed how neatly I write. However people should understand that every day writing is not ever going to be a pretty as when the letters are made with conscious effort. Also don't beat yourself up if your letters aren't perfect from the start. I also suggest writing the alphabet and circling letters that need work. Concentrate on those letters until you're happy with them.
You can write legibly without focusing on all of these details and analysis by simply finding a comfortable writing tool for your preferred grip. I helped medical students accomplish this by watching them write and then offering suggestions for optimal writing instruments based on grip, the pressure applied, and how they positioned their body and the writing surface. Hopefully JetPens will next feature a video showing how varied are the grips, pressure, and paper position of their employees when writing -- and writing to someone can be far more motivating than practicing the same sentence over and over.
Yes this! I want to learn how to write neatly but efficiently. They are basically showing you how to draw, not write. There is a time and place for calligraphy/lettering, but they are not functional for everyday writing.
After writing 180,000 words in under a year my handwriting went from illegible to actually pretty when I actually try. Even going full speed it is actually nice looking.
been mimicking your style lately and it’s safe to say that people are impressed with it. My older sis, who hated my handwriting, was recently impressed by how neat it was.
I printed for a number of years, but recently went back to cursive when I read that it’s not being taught anymore and many young people just cannot read cursive. I glad I went back to cursive because it’s really fun too!
I feel like the modified O and U shapes are key to what makes people’s handwriting look aesthetically pleasing (aside from general, sizing and kerning). Great video
I appreciate the logic behind the spacing in letters like a, d, u...adds to the motivating principles of legibility. At the end of the day, I just really struggle to keep the same energy from the first letter to the last. 😂 in my journals, it starts off really neat. But a paragraph later, depending on the shifting mood, it sizes up, sizes down, entangles letters, turns to clumsy cursives...and maybe once i realized it looks wonky, i consciously make my writing neater (interestingly stablizes my mood to be more objective or calm about what I'm writing too.)
You're wonderful! Thank you for showing us🎉 I am also blown away by individuals like yourself that can just change penmanship & copy different fonts. Something I've struggled with. Thank you for this breakdown. I feel I could do this ! ❤
This is a better guide/tool than my teachers in middle, elementary, and summer school (between 2006 and 2014). They just say that my handwriting is messy and don't bother helping me.
Omg this answers so many of the questions I didn't know how to ask when it came to making my writing neater. I need more Amelia in these instructional type of videos. Something about her voice is perfect for it. It made me more engaged because it feels so inviting and fun 10/10 will watch again and I'll definitely be practicing my handwriting with those tools. Thank you Amelia!
Interestingly I've read similar advice about writing in Japanese... writing everything a little forward slanted, being mindful of spacing, keeping everything even and consistent etc. I liked this video and found it easy to understand :)
I’m pleasantly surprised that the sheets are free! I have been wanting to improve my handwriting, especially keeping it in a straight line. Thank you so much JetPens!
I've been trying to reconfigure my handwriting for years now and all of the guides I've followed are significantly larger in size and i have difficulty scaling letters down for writing in a comfortable size. I'm definitely downloading and printing these provided templates
WOW my handwriting is, in my opinion, quite nice, but when i watched your videos, *mind blown* 😂this video was useful, because i never knew you guys had guide sheets!! they are so helpful, thank you ❤❤
This is absolute gold! The technical detail is just perfect. Everyone would write perfectly in an ideal world where we have the time & environment when kids ... Sadly that is rarely the case. Now it's up to us a adults to fight through the bad habits... That said, examples shown are presentation standard so ... We should be kind to ourselves, and patient! Noting the death-grip and slow speed of execution are a function of the precision achieved. After practicing deliberately like this, real world legibility & esthetic will improve and hopefully not slow down too much. For myself I need to get the thoughts out of my head FAST so... It ain't pretty!
I love this video❤ I've been working on my cursive because I started writing with fountain pens, and it gives me more reason to use them. And this is so much like what I'm working on but also so much more difficult because print IS so mindless after all of my years of writing. I'm excited to get these writing guides 😄
Hiii Amelia! So cool to finally see the person who inspired my favorite handwriting style for journaling and planning 🤩 I was deciphering your handwriting in the same manner as you explain it here, and after consistent practice I was able to write in the same style. Thank you for the inspiration and please share more handwriting videos! I'm very curious how your planner and journaling style looks like. 😊
That is so cool!! I write with my right hand but for some reason I slant to the left. Teachers would ask if I was left handed, nope just slanted from the left. 😅 Now a days I am SO HAPPY that myself, my son and daughter-in-law know how to write in cursive so we can teach my 5 grandchildren cursive! I feel traditions are important, and cursive is a tradition that is going out 😢… Thanks again for this wonderful video!!❤
I love this handwriting content! I have started practicing my cursive skills again, and ppl are always complementing my writing. I love the systematic way this handwriting tutorial is laid out!
🍃Love this episode! The writing guide tools are a gift when you have dyslexia like myself gosh this is exciting for me because now I can work on my 2D linear lines which is always been a constant challenge. How wonderful thanks Jetpen for the informative video and resources. ❤🍃
I learned "architects" handwriting for a class on landscape design, and it has been immensely helpful when now labeling things in my lab. It's great to be able to see which of the labels are mine due to legibility and distinct shapes. However, I find it hard to do in smaller spaces. Having this as well in my arsenal would be great!
My writing style is unique as I never learned to write in cursive and with my hypermobility lowercase a is hard to write as example. I always use captal A but other than that my writing is good readable. I started my neater writing to get through high school exams and it sticked around ever since.
Fascinating! I'd love to learn more about the testing process that went into developing the style. I'm reminded of 'Library Hand' which was developed by librarian committee for maximum legibility when they still hand-wrote the card catalog.
This exceeded my expectations! Missing a JetPens Handwriting uppercase Worksheet at the provided description link. Also, can we fully embrace the JetPens Handwriting style by having a proper JetPens PC font for our docs in the future?
I actually use this is a different way,I print a thicker version of the diagonal printed paper with lines and laminate it,using a thin white board masker can make the printed paper re-use able to
honestly may try to fix my hand writing some but i dont need to pride my self in it , as well the fact i need to get better at pens not just pencil ( my pencil needs to get better to some how better with pen and barily use it)
w is the bane of the Norwegian people. Because it's a double-u in english speaking countries yeah? Well, here it's called a double- v. So we make a v sound "vhen ve say it". But it's actually "uuhen uue say it" XD in cursive, it even looks like a double u, not a double v haha. Anyway, this video is great! Thanks for all the pointers. I sent it to a friend who recently complained that his handwriting was getting bad.
This was incredibly useful. I was wondering, do you guys have any tips for writing on whiteboards (for example, for teachers, or for conferences) being that the letters are bigger, I don't know if the letters shapes should be the same as in the video? Hope that made sense lol Thanks!
Meanwhile in the Jet Pens™ writing room. "Ok, what's our next video?" "How about something with stationary." -stares- "Anybody else." '...we need better writing ideas...' - someone thinks. Raises hand - "I got it!"
We recommend something with a small grid, like these Kleid notebooks: www.jetpens.com/Kleid-Notebooks/ct/6597. The small 2 mm grid can help with keeping your characters consistent, and you can decide how big or small you want to practice the words!
I'm a neuroscientist who has done research in perceptual grouping. I have to disagree that increased spacing improves legibility. There needs to be an obvious distinction between letters grouped together and words spaced apart. I have always found the JetPens writing to be a bit difficult to read because of that. I also don't know where they got the idea that separating the ball and the stick (in an a or d for example) improves legibility. For me it does not. I like the angle, only because it's a bit easier to write, not because of legibility. Legibility also might be cultural. For example, Japanese letters are spaced out in a different way from how Roman letters tend to get grouped because they're syllabic (and kanji) rather than alphabetical. The principles of legibility don't translate from Japanese to Roman letters, in my opinion.
Nice video. I would call this printing - not writing. I would love to see videos on writing - what people are calling cursive these days. When I went to school we learned printing in grades 1 & 2, and learned to write in grade 3. After that, our work (other than algebra and chemistry) was expected to be handwritten (cursive) in pen.
It has been something like 3 decades+ since I first learned to write. However, at that time we were taught that "print"/"block letters" and "cursive" were both types of writing/handwriting. (IE - all apples are fruits but not all fruits are apples.) I've never actually heard anyone refer to "cursive" and "writing" being exact synonyms. (IE eggplant vs aubergine.) That's fascinating.
Okay, when I was in school, this was called printing! We were taught cursive in elementary school. However, I am 75, so I was taught actual life skills back then.
This is fine, and the video explains well how to write your way, but... to really show off some of your pens (especially fountain pens with italic or soft nibs), it would be better to have videos with a more cursive (but still very legible) hand, like chancery cursive

would love to see a version of this with your brush script! it always looks so good in samples + vids, a guide would be lovely!
The monthly calendars are sooo cute, but here the week starts on Monday.
Curiously the weekly to-do lists go Monday to Sunday.
SO well explained by Ammelia
Yes please! More handwriting videos would be fantastic.

As someone who works with fonts, I think it'd be cool to have the JetPens handwriting as a font.
Yes
Seconding, I would totally buy a JetPens font pack!
Don’t let your dreams be dreams. Make it from video samples.
I've been practicing my writing skills since I was 10. I love this font. My current style is all letters are the same height and it has changed how neatly I write.

You just need to train harder. Practice penmanship at least 3 hours a day.

Same. I think my hand gets tired quickly. I grip my pen incorrectly & have never learned how to write the proper way.
You're wonderful! Thank you for showing us🎉 I am also blown away by individuals like yourself that can just change penmanship & copy different fonts. Something I've struggled with. Thank you for this breakdown. I feel I could do this ! ❤
everyone talking about the writing
me: I love *ADOBO*
This is a better guide/tool than my teachers in middle, elementary, and summer school (between 2006 and 2014). They just say that my handwriting is messy and don't bother helping me.
Omg this answers so many of the questions I didn't know how to ask when it came to making my writing neater.

Ive used the online practice sheets, and have practiced on my iPad, very helpful. Thank you 😊
Great tip, crossing Ts and dotting Is after, will keep that in mind
I’m pleasantly surprised that the sheets are free! I have been wanting to improve my handwriting, especially keeping it in a straight line. Thank you so much JetPens!
You are so welcome! Hope the sheets are helpful for your handwriting journey. :)
I tried to copy the Jetpens handwriting, but I didn't know the specifics until today. Thanks for sharing!
I've been trying to reconfigure my handwriting for years now and all of the guides I've followed are significantly larger in size and i have difficulty scaling letters down for writing in a comfortable size.
I'm definitely downloading and printing these provided templates
Can you make a video about the tripod grip, pen position and comfortable posture ? That would be awesome! ❤
WOW my handwriting is, in my opinion, quite nice, but when i watched your videos, *mind blown* 😂this video was useful, because i never knew you guys had guide sheets!! they are so helpful, thank you ❤❤
This is absolute gold! The technical detail is just perfect.
Everyone would write perfectly in an ideal world where we have the time & environment when kids ... Sadly that is rarely the case.
Now it's up to us a adults to fight through the bad habits...
That said, examples shown are presentation standard so ... We should be kind to ourselves, and patient!

well, heck, I might actually start practicing handwriting again
New Jetpens lore just dropped...
this was super informative!! but i think amelia's normal writing is pretty cute too 😊

Loved this video. I’m always looking for ways to improve my hand writing. Thank you!
4:36 - this alone deserved a 'like'... and it made me hungry 😅
I changed the way I write my g and y because of jetpens 😂
This is wonderful, so many amazing tips ☺☺☺
I liked this a lot! I will show it to my daughter so she can start good handwriting habits early.
Amazing design and a great way to use unique branding!
I really needed these tips, thanks a lot! I feel more inspired to work on my handwriting style 😊
I actually use this is a different way,I print a thicker version of the diagonal printed paper with lines and laminate it,using a thin white board masker can make the printed paper re-use able to
Absolutely fascinating!
It's quite a science ~
I want to have neat writing but between writing fast to catch up and writing neat so I choose writing fast..... So I can catch up with lessons.....
Thanks for sharing. I love your videos.
Waw...thank you for the tips ❤❤❤
I have like 100x different handwriting styles and kinda depend on mood. Remember that it doesn’t always have to be perfect.
Beautiful >>>>>> Thanks .
Wait! What about writing numbers? I need to know more ! Thank you.
Thank you!

Great question! We'll do some research and see if we can be more helpful.
@@JetPens Thanks so much!!!!
Is it possible to get the detailed writing guide to be scaled to college ruled lines? I cant seem to do it
Not sure for cursive writing ❤❤
Very nice printing!
Yes! I’m 71--this printing. I love to write in cursive____and I do practice.
Just make 100 of these videos

@@JetPens thank you for the suggestion!
we have same hand writing..
Noticed the little fish in there
So who else learned that they could never work at JetPens? Just me haha
This is how we were taught in grade school. Do they not do this anymore??
Problem is I need to learn how to write big, quick, and neatly.
I'm a neuroscientist who has done research in perceptual grouping. I have to disagree that increased spacing improves legibility.

Only kids should be allowed to write in print. Any self respecting educated adult should use cursive
Never heard this before. I’m OK with it.
They no longer teach cursive to kids in school, I find this worrying.
how to write fast and still have legible handwriting 😢
Gosh that pen sucks. Terrible flow
Title is a bit misleading. This is about printing.
you literally cannot NOT read it
I don't like slanting the letters.
