Hi my name is Peter, and i have recently gotten back into the habit of writing. My biggest issue is because I need legibility in writing invoices i write in all caps. Unfortunately this also affected my cursive. As i am relearning the craft I am very unsure if my letters are correct, I was wondering if anyone had guides they used for how the lettering should look.

rammbleMany free resources on the internet for that. Poke around and you'll find references you can print. Hate to say it, but the solution is practice, practice, practice. You can do it!

My suggestion for a Drop would be one of the Cross Tech II Pen /Stylus combo for use with cell phones. I have just bought one last month for use with my cell phone, while also having it for a regular day to day pen and it's come in handy greatly,.... ;)

I would say you should try a stub nib. Kaweco has a good calligraphy set as does lamy.

I hear from a friend who recently has started doing her calligraphy with fountain pens rather than with straight pens. She's bought several different brands and she really likes the brand JinHao off Amazon because they are super affordable ($5-7 on average) and look fancy but write decent. I tried out several of hers as it's become a fountain pen obsession for her (which i totally understand bc i have it to) and I didn't feel any difference in the ink flow or feel when i compared it to her $150 fountain pen. My personal obsession is the Visconti brand (Italian hand made pens) they are beautiful. However if you are strictly looking for writing and the pen's exterior fashion is not important, lamy has a strong reputation.
