Chancery cursive

Chancery cursive is a style of handwriting that originated in the Italian Renaissance, particularly used by clerks in the chancery, or administrative offices. It features elegant, flowing letters with a combination of slanted strokes and looped forms, making it both aesthetically pleasing and efficient for writing. Popular in the 15th and 16th centuries, it influenced modern cursive scripts and was often used in official documents due to its clarity and style. Today, it's appreciated for its artistic value and historical significance, often seen in calligraphy and decorative writing.
