This is great, thank you for posting! I love the look of italic and still consider using it as my everyday writing (working on Business Writing and italic concurrently). In fact, I think I was using italic for a while but I did not study it or practice it deliberately so I think it fell too far into disrepair. I'm going to look for a sample to post.
I'm not very familiar with nibs but this is a good example to use for my question: what type of pen or nib could someone use to get something of what you have below? I'm looking for something just like this that is not so variant between the thick and the thin that it's distracting but it's more distinct than a monoline pen. Would this just have been a . . . medium nib?
