Thank you.  Paul Luhtein is the B O M B

The rubrication of the Majuscule is amazing.  Simple, elegant.

Is his work considered to be a modern calligraphy, modern interpretation of Italics?

I really don't know. It's USSR, XX century, but old classic school.
And look at books of Villu Toots.

Cadel -- I think I'll use this for now.

First try out Palatino first.  Then head to the next item below :D
