Textualis Quadrata is the principal script of the Middle Ages or the Gothic Period. There are 6 major ‘high book hands’ which derive from TQ, and a myriad of vernacular and semicursive scripts in the period too which link to the TQ. This is, historical, ONE of the Blackletter Hands. Blackletter in its contemporary context is usually NOT THIS, but is used to described a bastard (blended) alphabet, mixing , Textualis Quadrata, Textualis SemiQuadrata, Fraktur and possibly a few other scripts. Check your historical sources first. Full vid on IGLive and in the @facebook group PAScribe Calligraphy Classes. This video is to show the students participating in the quarterly year-long class in Dallas how the rhythm works. @teamspellbinders @speedball_art @johnnealbookseller @paperandinkarts @pelikan_international @tncaligrafia @angievangalis #calligraphy #gothicscripts #blackletter #textualisquadrata #speedballc2nib #pelikan4001brilliantbrown (at London, United Kingdom)

Building an historical flourish for a Fraktur stem. I dotted in the shapes first. Production is more complex than just using a pointed flexible nib. You have to be careful with what looks Line an engraved line and what the quill would have done. Long vid in the @facebook group PAScribe Calligraphy Classes. The Speedball C Nib allows for a little bit of pressure and realise causing entasis on the lines. @teamspellbinders @speedball_art @pelikan_international @tncaligrafia @angievangalis #hunt22nib #speedballc2nib #pelikan4001brilliantbrown (at London, United Kingdom)

Fraktur is the reason I became a scribe. I saw something Dürer did when I was 9 and it changed my life, rather it reminded me who I was. I have looked at many variations of Fraktur and here are some of them with different tools. The pointed version I saw in the State Archives in Zurich and immediately fell for it. The long vid is in my IGTV and the @facebook group PAScribe Calligraphy Classes where we can discuss it. Hope this piques your interest on broad edged scripts. @angievangalis @tncaligrafia @teamspellbinders @speedball_art @william_mitchell_calligraphy @crobersonco @yokepencompany @pelikan_international @scribblerscalligraphy @johnnealbookseller @paperandinkarts #fraktur #speedballc2nib #automaticpen #williammitchellscrollnib #hunt22bnib #yokepenholder (at London, United Kingdom)
