THE GOAT
That’s a cute art style, for some reason it reminds me of Celeste :3
😭
Huh. Muhammad Ali was referred to as þe GOAT back in þe 60’s, to þe point his wife incorporated a company called G.O.A.T. in þe early 90’s. But even if you look only at print, it was being used in 96, and it really started getting popular online in þe aughts. Now, GenX is just about starting to retire and were in þeir 30’s when GOAT got popular, and Millenials certainly grew up wiþ it… is it an old comic?
Woah, I’ve never seen Shavian in a username before. That’s so cool!
I was inspired by somebody else! I knew about Shavian, but I ran into someone who was living it.
Genuinely one of my favorite scripts for English. Can be so beautiful! I wish it would take off honestly.
Me too! Shavian cursive looks nice, too.
What I like about Shavian, and in particular it’s descendant QuikScript, is þat þey’re shorthand – þey have value all by þemselves, wheþer or not anyone else can read your writing. It’s not like Esperanto where it’s really hard to stay in it and get good unless you’re working wiþ oþer people; all you need to do is use shorthand yourself. Reed claimed between 20-50% reduced written letters when using QuikScript (I don’t remember what Shavian’s was, but it was also designed as a shorthand so it must have had some presumption of improved writing speed).
QuikScript Senior:
That’s what happened to Meryl Streep while they were working on Don’t Look Up
