This is interesting (to me, at least):  Bic, the pen company, took samples of people's penmanship and cross-referenced it by gender, age, country, handedness and industry.

Here's the "most average" printing for the Canadian samples: http://www.theuniversaltypeface.com/explore/country/canada.  You can download (and install) that font at the bottom-left.

You can sort by other factors in the right margin.
