Penmanship refers to the art and skill of writing by hand. It involves the formation of letters and characters in a clear and aesthetically pleasing manner. Good penmanship is often characterized by consistent size, spacing, and slant of letters, making the writing easy to read. Historically, penmanship was an important skill taught in schools, with various styles such as cursive and print being emphasized. Today, while digital communication is prevalent, penmanship remains valued for personal notes, invitations, and artistic expressions. Many people still practice penmanship to improve their handwriting or for creative purposes.
