>>12043486>>Controlled conscious penstrokes>>12043516>Hows that?You can see different spots along the lines for each "word" where the writer stopped his pen movement in some words, but other words they are more connected. He probably had to pause while thinking of or looking up the next letter to write because he wasn't familiar with the script.
There are many shorthand writing systems that competed for popularity in multiple countries from the past 200 years and which have fallen into obsolescence. They aren't always 1-to-1 with English letters; you'll often see symbols for entire words or for common endings of words. They can be very complex.
>>12043456This is the best guess I have seen, just not sure which shorthand system. I'm somewhat familiar with Gregg and Pitman. This doesn't look like either, but I have a feeling the writer was being deliberately cryptic here, probably making a cypher that might even mix multiple writing systems together.
