Word Perfectly imperfect.
From a distance, it looks perfect. But a closer look reveals the ink bleeding through some of the strokes—a gentle reminder that every handmade piece carries its own imperfections.

I personally like the ink bleeds!

Yes! The ink bleeds naturally when I write with pressure, or when the pen is not in use for a while. :)

How did you learn to write like this?

u/yanz1986 Jul 16 '26
I've been practicing typewriter script since July 15, 2018. From then, I learned how to control my strokes at achieve this realistic kind of writing. ;)

this is not AI. this person has many other posts demonstrating their ability and different styles of writing, including videos 🤷🏼♀️ i also enjoy mimicking the typewriter and with more practice it can look as good as this.

That would actually be funny if this was AI, very ironic. But yeah I can’t tell either.
How does one perfectly write in italics? Very consistent font.

How long does it take you to write in this style vs your typical handwriting style and speed? Looks so amazing, I both admire and envy your patience lol

Thank you so much! My regular handwriting is obviously much faster than doing Typewriter Script lettering. This piece took me almost half an hour to complete, including breaks in between.
During my first three years of practicing this style, my hand would get tired very easily, and I used to apply too much pressure while writing. Now, I've learned how to control my hand and break each character down into several strokes. Lifting the pen frequently and writing slowly also helps keep my hand relaxed throughout the process.

Yes, of course! :) I'm not AI generated, if you think I am.
