In English, cursive writing was originally developed in the 17th century to speed up the writing process since writers did not need to lift their quills until the end of a word. There has however been a recent increase in interest in cursive since it is still used for artistic purposes such as in calligraphy and graphic design. While designed to speed up the writing process because it is faster than writing block letters, cursive has been on the decline over the last few decades, especially with the introduction of computer keyboards which speed up writing significantly.
