Flourished Majuscule
Ken Fraser:
The three golden rules in flourishing....
1) Try to cross lines at a high angle .
2) Aim for a sense of symmetry in the white spaces.
3) Never cross thick strokes...it always looks bad.
Starlee:
Thank you! Good tips.
Sherry Lu:
May I ask what you mean by a high angle??
Ken Fraser:
By "high angle" I mean crossing as close to right angles as possible. "Scripsit" is a good example. This creates uncluttered open spaces.
