    My handwriting is anal sauce but at least at one point I wasn’t terrible at calligraphy. Those two things are not related skills at all.

      I enjoy hand brushed lettering, but I’ve never done calligraphy. Seems to be quite different than just having nice legible handwriting, its a much more structural process, more like drafting than writing

        Somewhere in that region, yes. I find it much more of a process of drawing than writing, each individual letter gets specific attention. Maybe if you’ve done it enough you start picking up speed and start thinking about whole words.
