The difficulties in learning the Latin script developed from the "Deutsche Normalschrift" prompted the development of a standardised cursive. The Vereinfachten Ausgangsschrift was intended to correct inconsistencies in the Latin source script and to develop a script that was easier to learn.
The Vereinfachte Ausgangsschrift is primarily based on the Lateinische Ausgangsschrift and is also based on the Druckschrift (DS). During development, attention should be paid to a consistent and logical flow of writing, the analogy to the printed text, a light motor implementation and the avoidance of unnecessary decorative elements.
