My 82 year old mother is the only person that I know that still writes
in cursive. It is almost illegible due to slant and compactness but I
love her for it anyway.

It's pretty easy to read.

Non-cursive (aka printing or block letters) used for important

And the third one is a semi-mixture of the two, which I use when
writing hurried notes for myself.

Block letters, so that's what it's called. Using the
term "printed" is too confusing nowadays,
as in the question "is it handwritten or printed?".

I use block letters because I want to be able to
read back what I wrote. I don't smear my characters
writing down a phone number, so I wouldn't
also mess up my readability by using cursive for words.

Then again the term "block letters" imply someone
who writes in all capitals.

It's all too ambiguous.
