grafolino-rocca is based on the fundamental movements of the «Swiss Steinschrift» (stone script), which remains an outstanding non-cursive writing style for schools.
The extremely simple movement elements result in clear shapes that can also be found outside of school. As a type of handwriting, it can be written quickly and is very easy to read.

We consider its movement patterns to be the universal foundation for writing in the already existing age of non-cursive scripts.

We recommend that everyone who plans to not use cursive at all or very rarely – which is very possible with the non-defined term «semi-cursive» – to begin with these basic movements.

Still, the correct movement sequences for the letters – learned using the app grafolino – enable a smooth transition into semi-cursive or cursive writing.

We recommend grafolina-prima as an initial handwriting style if cursive writing – with connections between the lower-case letters at least – is identified as an objective and competency requirement.

With the special ovals (leaves) of a, d, g, q, the round b and e, and the p traced in one movement, the template features movement patterns that are designed for connections.
The upper-case letters remain the same in non-cursive and cursive writing.

M and N are started at the bottom on the left and written without lifting one’s hand.

This movement template is available in the films on the app for the entire alphabet including practice phrases.

grafolina-prima – just like all of the other movement templates displayed here – is also suitable for semi-cursive handwriting.

grafolino-sistema is most likely the movement pattern for the handwriting styles of the future.

„Newspaper a“, straight l and (minimised) t with a curve.

They are taken from the Helvetica-derived alphabet, which is also used by large computer companies for their system fonts.
If you look at the top of your screen, you will normally see these symbols.

It is a given that these movement shapes also appear in books and teaching material.
