    The slant in print writing I think stems from how curisve is (was?) taught in U.S elementary schools. I recall getting the very distinct advice to tilt my paper 45° for cursive writing and it ended up becoming a habit that carried over into my print writing.

      Definitely I was taught to do it for cursive. My school system abandoned cursive after we learned it so I never got in that habit I guess
