Some 15-20 years ago, it was common among Europeans to make fun of Americans for writing in block-style. These days, I imagine, most Europeans have trouble deciphering what they write, so they use a mix of block and cursive - aka cursive as taught to a toddler. I now wish I learned how to write block faster because I can't use cursive without it becoming mostly unreadable and I can't use blocks without slowing down too much.

In other developments, I see recursive coming out on a resurgence in some self-help circles - marketed as a tool to unlock your inner potential, relieve stress/anxiety - just shows that forget about something long enough and you can relabel it to make some money.

About 10-15 years ago in Czechia, there was created a new font for teaching kids in elementary school: https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comenia_Script#/media/Soubor:C...

AFAIK its usage isn't widespread.
