Narbonósc also uses the typical Latin cursive, but with a few variations from
the standard. For instance, the <s> is written like in old written texts, as a
long s-shaped vertical line (like an integral sign). The <f> is identical, but
with a horizontal stroke to differ (some handwritings make it very difficult to
make them distinct :) ). Also, letters like <d>, <t> or <l>, which when they are
written finish with a vertical downstroke, tend to go below the writing line (so
the <d> looks like the "tailed d" of the IPA alphabet). The rest is rather
standard, with all the variations we're used to see. Connected script is the
norm for cursive.
