My 5 and S look the same

My 5s are apparently unreadable for most people. Whenever someone asks me what that sign or letter is on anything I wrote I will say it’s a 5 without looking. They’ll say how I didn’t even look. But it’s always correct.

Your 5 is just a fucked up b, right?

I draw the “top” of my 5’s with a separate line to help avoid this. Also I cross my 7’s and Z’s. If it’s just a jumble of alphanumeric characters, I’ll cross the 0’s and add the serif to 1’s.

Same, I can’t write a 5 in one smooth motion, when I try to it ends up looking like an S.

My 5 wears the top line like a floating hat. It’s frustrating even to myself

Missed opportunity for “5ame”

Just do the same to the other letters, so it looks like a stylistic choice.

Yeah, I just like to sketch every letter… it’s totally on purpose.

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve had trouble with 8s. To the point that the bottom part comes back together on the right side so it looks like a 9.

When I was little and learning how to write numbers, my grandma said my 8s looked. “sickly”.

Somethings never change.

Then I try to erase the whole word and rewrite it, but you can still see the D after I erase it so it looks even worse
