Some of the writers noted for beautiful handwriting are fountain pen people including Leigh Reyes and Clement Dionglay. 6 People with Seriously Swoon-worthy Handwriting is the title of the article at CNN Philippines. Beautiful handwriting indeed!

Improve Your Writing With A Handwriting Journal
06/21/20223.3 million views for a handwriting video is impressive. The use of a Lamy fountain pen, Aurora black ink and a Traveler’s Notebook add to its aesthetic presentation. Need a bit of encouragement to try your hand at something new? This might be just the thing to get you started.
One of the most useful points made is that it takes repetitive effort to create muscle memory. Just keep practicing and that new style of lettering will become natural. My suspicion is that the first style is the most difficult and successive ones are more easily learned.
Another useful point is to write slowly. That breaks writing habits associated with one’s usual handwriting.
Kudos to the video’s creator, MyLifeinaBullet on YouTube, for inspiring writers to write and for using a fountain pen to do it.
