Hi. I'm Matt from Pennsylvania
« on: November 21, 2018, 09:23:53 PM »
I just want to say thank you for letting me get to know you! Although I enjoy digital typography, it pales in comparison to the enjoyment I've been experiencing by self teaching myself the history of handwriting, starting with Sumerian and paleo-Hebrew, all the way through the area I became most interested in, English roundhand and Engravers/engrosser's hand. There appears to be a rich history of handwriting in the cities near me and I am excited to find others still interested in this as I am. I still research online which is how I found the Flourish Forum. Please be patient with me as I learn to navigate this website from my phone, and I can't wait to see others progress! Thanks.

Hi Matt,
Have you made your way over to the Weinberg Memorial Library yet which has a big collection of original penmen's work? They also have a Charles Zaner exhibit on display at University of Scranton right now.

Welcome!
Warm Regards,
