Spanish term or phrase: letra manuscrita imprenta
Hola, tengo que traducir una oración y no sé exactamente cómo hacerlo. La oración es la siguiente:
"El texto original en [color] azul está [escrito] en letra manuscrita imprenta".
Mi intento sería: "The original blue text is in handwriting print/handwriting print form". ¿Alguna ayuda?

[handwritten] in block letters / in print
Explanation:
Block letters (known as printscript, manuscript, print writing or ball and stick in academics) are a sans-serif (or "gothic") style of writing Latin script in which the letters are individual glyphs, with no joining. In English-speaking countries, children are often first taught to write in block letters, and later may be taught cursive (joined) writing.
