To me it's what you'd see in the cursive books and worksheet that would be taught in school (in the ones that teach writing it). I don't see why cursive should vary much more between writers than print does. That's an interesting observation but it leads me to an opposite conclusion. Sure, why should cursive not be uniform and standardized like any other font?
But what is great about cursive is that it allows for individual style. Not everybody's "r" or "w" need be the same. I write r like this.

I write r like this. That's beautiful. My cursive 'r' is a pathetic little hump. Lol.
*EDIT - My lower case 'r' is a hump. My upper case 'R' looks very much like the printed capital 'R'. I wish I had spent more time on developing my cursive when I was in grammar school.
I can remember my third grade teacher telling me my print was fine and the cursive was taking too much time away from other things I could be learning about. She wanted to see me reading my Nancy Drew and Little House on the Prairie books and spend some time in one of he 5th grade classes.

I still write in cursive from time to time, but my arthritic ol' piddies are much happier with a computer keyboard (even though I was never a fast, nor skillful, typist--I wouldn't go back to a typewriter, especially a manual, if you paid me a million dollars). As for printing, I do that in an Italic, semi-attached style, which is much faster than block printing and flows almost as well as my cursive. Neither of my sons (one born in the late eighties, the other in the early nineties) learned cursive in school, and the younger one had to teach himself enough cursive to create a signature.

Catman only uses cursive if he drops something on his foot.
