Quill or fountain pens are out there. You can also use a special feather. There are books and probably some instructions on YouTube how to write like this. It is called calligraphy and there are many many many different styles.

Yeah, I saw some videos like that earlier when I searched. It's a beautiful way of writing.

I wish I had that class as an option when I was still in school. The main "extra" courses we were offered were chorus, band, theater, and a art/painting class. Once I got to High school they still offered the ones I just listed plus foreign language classes (Spanish or German) and driver's ed. I think I took all of those classes at some point or another just to see if I liked any.

I doubt anyone has a class option for calligraphy unless they are very lucky, I didn't in the mid last century(darn makes me sound old!) but I bet there are community classes.
Try YouTube, bet you'll find something there.
