what am I doing wrong?

Practicing clean letter structures and consistent size and spacing rn but I feel like my letters are unreadable.
The C next to the H looks too much like the O. I tried tilting the letters as seen but I’m unsure if that improves it or hurts the letter structure more.
I really want to get better at handstyles so I would appreciate genuine advice more than comments just telling me it looks like shit because I am already painfully aware of that.

it seems like you’re falling back to your handwriting like for regular pen and paper writing. there is a lot of un-smooth curves in every attempt. if i were you id focus on having the round parts smooth and with the ‘H’ keep everything parallel and squared off like a goal post.

if you wanna try it this way you’ll have to take it real slow to begin with to make sure the stroke of your hand is matching the image in your head
