ITALIC
This version of Italic is the basic formal style and is only one of many variations. It was written at a slope angle of 5 degrees from the horizontal with a Rotring Artpen fitted with an edged nib.
It is very suitable for use as everyday handwriting as it can be written very fast without breaklng down and becoming illegible

Ken Fraser:
UNCIAL
Whilst this script is too slow for everyday handwriting, it is very effective as a style for letter writing where time isn't such an issue.
The letters are written wide and spaced close together.
The exemplar was written with a Rotring Artpen fitted with an edged nib, as was the text example.

Ken,
You can't know how much this community will appreciate your generosity in sharing these. thank you!
but before you go on, please consider that by putting these into general discussion they will be available to anyone, not just forum members.
Which, if it is what you intended, then fine, post away, but if not...
Perhaps contact Erica to discuss putting these into the 'closed" forum, (sorry if that's not the right terminology)
Anyhow, I'll leave it with you!
:)

Could someone convince Joi to post some exemplars, too? It's too much work for me to keep stalking her letters on Instagram!!
