Einstein primarily used Latin cursive in his writings. However, his earlier correspondence, up until his mid-20s, was almost exclusively in the old German script.
Here's a breakdown:
- Latin Cursive: This was the style he adopted for most of his scientific papers, letters, and other documents. A recently auctioned letter showcased this style.
- Old German Script: Also known as Kurrentschrift or Deutsche Schrift, this was the dominant handwriting style in German-speaking regions for centuries. Einstein used it extensively in his youth.
Therefore, depending on the period, Einstein's handwriting would vary between the two scripts. Most of his famous work is documented in Latin cursive.
