We made it! The letter Z for the @handletteredABCs 2018 challenge 😊 If you want to see recordings for each letter of this 'Italian' styled variant of the classic Engrosser's Roundhand script, I'll be posting them all to a playlist on my YouTube too: https://goo.gl/NEmRfQ. • • I'm doing the whole alphabet using one of my hand carved ergonomic nib holders with a leonardt principal ef nib in Higgins eternal ink on lined Rhodia paper. • • Italian is a vague term in this context that was often used by practitioners to denote a script intended to be paired with a more commonly styled one. It rarely indicates one way or the other whether the origin of the script is/was actually Italy. As a consequence there are numerous historical scripts labeled as 'Italian' that seem to have little visual relationship to each other. I went pretty heavy on the shades for fun :D If I were using this script in a piece I'd probably lighten it up a bit unless it was going to be for a big, dramatic title of some sort. • • Music playing while I was writing is from Missing Vwls. • • #HooksHolders #HooksHandLetteredABCs #HooksHandLetteredABCS_2018 #calligraphy #pointedpen #roundhand #engrossersscript #copperplate #Italianscript #Higginseternal #LeonardtPrincipal #Rhodia #MissingVwls #calligraphyvideo #calligraphyinstruction #calligraphyalphabet #lettering #handlettering #typography #letterarchive #handletteredABCs #handletteredABCs_2018 #ABCs_z #letterarchive_z

The letter W for the @handletteredABCs 2018 challenge. I pretty much never do my capital Ws like this, but they're kind of fun.

The letter S for the @handletteredABCs 2018 challenge 😊. I shouldn't have gone back in for that second retouch on the terminal of the capital 🤷🏻‍♀️. Little s's have that tricky right oval shade, I've been working on it a lot lately, but def still have a ways to go.

Eek! A day late for the letter Q for the @handletteredABCs 2018 challenge 😬. I struggle with the capital Q too. Clockwise ovals with shades on the right are definitely a weakness I need to work on.

It's @handletteredABCs time! I'm a couple days late starting, but I'm going to catch up 😊. A bunch of people seemed interested in the exemplar I shared a while back of an 'Italian' styled variant of the classic Engrosser's Roundhand script so I've decided to focus on that this year and share both vids and photos. I'll add all the videos to a playlist on my YouTube too in case anyone wants to see them in HD: https://goo.gl/NEmRfQ. • Italian is a vague term in this context that was often used by practitioners to denote a script intended to be paired with a more commonly styled one.

Another sample sheet of a round hand style variant that I worked out about a couple months ago for a client invitation. They had found a photo of a turn of the century invitation that had these lovely flattened out teardrop shaped terminals. I couldn't track down any other period examples for a full alphabet in the time I had, so this is what I came up with. Afterwards I found a font, Sackers Italian script that looks like it was developed from similar letterforms, so I'm calling it an Italian round hand variant for lack of a better name.

Another portfolio sample showing exaggerated Italian caps paired with an Engrosser's script. I think I'm going to make a bunch of these faux envelopes, they're a lot of fun 😊
