Is There a Right Way to Write?

The Universal Handwriting Experiment uses a website to gain submissions and calculate the average shape and size of each letter of the alphabet. Once you draw and enter your information—including which hand you use, gender, age, occupation and home country—your handwriting is compared to the millions of other worldwide submissions. The website calculates the difference in length, width and height between your letters and the average letter. In addition, you can compare your handwriting to other people in your trade, country or even gender. The website allows to see past letters and their deviances from the mean, and it is constantly updating its average to fit the submissions. So is there a universal handwriting typeface? Check out their website and submit your handwriting to find out!
