joi,

I am quite proud of this majuscule 'T' which is original and is entirely my own work. If you start at the top and work through the flourishing, you'll find that it's actually a one-stroke letter. I'm sorry...there is no alphabet just this one letter. I've used it in a couple of projects requiring a capital 'T'...but that's all.

Thanks for your comments and interest.

Ken

Since IAMPETH revamped their whole site, most of the links no longer work. I tried to find it on their new site but they use some kind of book linking app and I find it very difficult to navigate. Sorry!

The link that no longer shows up had the name of the book and page number in it. That can be used to track it down on the new site. I think it was in the Spencerian Compendium but don't remember any other details.

S.
I have an opinion and I'm not afraid to use it.

Just to reiterate - this is a single stroke T.
