Russian handwriting question

[ellinor-rapp]

I'm remaking the cyrillic characters in Virgil and I have a problem finding genuine russian printed handwriting for comparing the fonts chars with regular handwritten ones. Are there any russian people here who can write an example to look at how it should look in a context writing? Right now the letter Ф is causing some confusion!

Also is the below text readable?

Thanks in advance,

Is this helpful? Or do you need a more printed-like variant?

Also is the below text readable?

Yes, but it looks a bit like a mix of small caps (mainly because of а, в, е) and normal letters.

What would be preferred? small a or a small A? I watched this video https://youtu.be/np22MLm2o2c on youtube and he said nono to some characters shapes - and I don't know so I believed him :D

Thanks for the samples!! Wonderful

As for "printed handwriting", there exist standardized fonts for technical drawings. I'm trying to find a good link.

that would be awsome!

I'm watching the video. So far he's saying everything right. The double-storey "а" is indeed never used in handwriting. It's always single-storey (ɑ).

Watching further, now I see why you're confused. Yeah, disregard that video. "Handwriting in block letters with distinct upper and lower cases" is probably a thing, but it's not really common. For example, I personally have no idea where I would use it. When people write in block letters, they mostly just use all caps.

Thanks a million for your input, I'll upload the changes when I'm done - probably tomorrow so you can have your say about it!

Feel free to ask anything you want to know :)

Just saw in recent news protesters use that standard technical font. BTW, what I personally don't like about it is that "а" is too similar to "о".

The softness sign looks like a 6
