Spencerian refers to a style of cursive handwriting developed by Platt Rogers Spencer in the mid-19th century. This elegant script emphasizes fluidity and grace, characterized by its sweeping curves and loops. It was widely taught in American schools and became popular for personal correspondence and business documents. The Spencerian system is based on a series of fundamental strokes, which can be combined to create various letters. It is often associated with the art of penmanship and has influenced modern calligraphy. Today, many enthusiasts still practice Spencerian to appreciate its beauty and historical significance.
