STREV Shorthand Part 3: A Sample

STREV Shorthand Part 3: A Sample

After taking this system for a test drive, I'm not particularly pleased with the result, but I think it may be easier to use than Everett's original system.

STREV is light-line, so any shading you see here is a by-product of the pen I used.

This text is taken from the 「written by hand, felt by heart」 post.

STREV Shorthand Part 2: Vowels

These are exactly the same as Everett's 「vowel modes」, the only difference being that dots and circles are now used to indicate long vowels.

Alright — I've made my final decision!

  1. Cursive or semi-cursive ⭕
  2. Lightline ⭕️
  3. Easy to learn and easy to use ⭕️
  4. Decent speed potential (~100-120 WPM) ⭕️
  5. Mostly legible ⭕️
  6. Obtuse angles rare or otherwise non-existent ⭕️
  7. Mostly lineal, but sometimes disjoining is needed ⭕️
  8. No awkward slope distinctions ⭕️
    BONUS: visual appearance ⭕️

I've narrowed my choices

Ladies and gentlemen,

I have recently arrived from my vacation abroad. If you've been following me for a while, you know how interested I am in different shorthand systems, and in finding the one I like best.

However, the hard truth is that there is no 'perfect' system. Hence, lest I should get lost and waste months of my beautiful life, I have decided to choose a handful of systems I like, and stick to them. See if you can guess which 3 systems I used :)

I may occasionally look at different systems, but most of the time, when I write in shorthand, it will be in one of these three systems.

Huracac word of the day: SEVENTEEN

Today is the day I turn 17 years old. So to commemorate this big day, I have composed this special calligraphic piece. I am now officially 1 year away from legal adulthood, so I want to remind my future self how creative I was in my prime.

What could be an estimated speed cap for Arends-based systems?

I'm talking about Arends, Roller, Mengelkamp, and their derivatives. I also want to take English Kunowski into consideration. I want to know which one of these is best suited for Business writing (80-120 WPM).
