=== Cursive features ===

The Modi script has several characteristics that facilitate writing, minimising having to lift the pen from the paper for dipping in ink while moving from one character to the next. Some characters are "broken" versions of their Devanagari counterparts, and many characters are more circular in shape. These characteristics make Modi a sort of [[cursive]] style of writing Marathi. The Modi script does not have the short 'i' (इ) and long 'ū' (ऊ) of Devanagari.<ref name="prop" /> The cursive nature of the script also allowed scribes to easily make multiple copies of a document if required.<ref name=":2" />
