I'm old and have seen very many signatures of cursive writers so I know that most are scrawl-like and only slightly resemble the letters they're based on. What I haven't seen is signatures of the non-cursive-knowing signers, which is why I'm asking the question and hoping to get responses from those who never learned cursive.
For people who learned cursive, it's natural and intuitive to develop a unique, flowing signature that's hard for someone else either to forge or even guess what it might look like. So my question is trying to understand if those who've only ever printed also develop unique signatures like that, or if their signatures look closer to how they would normally print their name.
I learned cursive and no it fucking isn't natural and intuitive. My signature was never consistent when I tried and now I just scribble chicken scratch that doesn't even superficially resemble the letters in my name because I don't regularly write in cursive and signatures don't matter 99.99% of the time.
