Unistrokes *is* the single-stroke "funny" letters.  The original paper
was called "Touch Typing with a Pen" IIRC, and was written by them fine
folks at Xerox PARC.  When Palm (US Robotics?) introduced Graffiti they
got sued by Xerox.  They have since come to an arrangement that I cannot
recall off the top of my head...

The down side to Unistrokes is that you do have to learn a new
character-set (albeit related to standard Roman characters).  However,
the characters are fast to write, and the processing power needed to
recognise the characters is far less than with true hand-writing
recognition.
