Backtrack-Free Cursive

# Summary A writer frustrated by the frequent backtracking required in English cursive—particularly when dotting i's and crossing t's—analyzed the problem by comparing English and Russian texts and found that English requires backtracking in 51% of words while Russian only requires it in 6.4%. Unable to find an existing cursive script that eliminated this inefficiency, the author designed a custom script based on SmithHand and Russian penmanship that minimizes backtracking by rendering most letters in single strokes and redesigning problematic letters like t and i.
