cursives
Flowing script style
Cursives are styles of handwriting in which letters connect fluidly within words, designed for speed and continuous pen movement.
The term usually refers to multiple cursive scripts or traditions: The teacher showed us different cursives from various eras.
In typography, cursives are typefaces that imitate this flowing, connected style.
