Spencerian Penmanship Revival

The Spencerian Penmanship Revival is a contemporary movement that seeks to bring back the elegant, ornate cursive handwriting style developed by Platt Rogers Spencer in the mid-19th century. Known for its flowing lines, balance, and intricate letterforms, Spencerian was once the standard for business writing in the United States. The revival involves enthusiasts and calligraphers practicing and teaching this art to preserve its aesthetic beauty and technical skill. It aims to reconnect people with traditional handwriting craftsmanship, emphasizing that beautiful penmanship can enhance personal expression, add value to written communication, and serve as a link to historical writing practices.
