Exemplars

UNCIAL Variation

This very bold Uncial script is an attractive alternative to the more familiar lighter version.

I just want to say that the colorful Tudor S is majestic.

This thread is both beautiful and informative and I'm wondering if there is a way to provide a link to it in another place such as the how-to's or possibly in the resources?  If I hadn't decided to dig into many of the posts on this forum, I might never have seen it.  It seems a shame to let all of these beautiful exemplars get buried.

HI Elisabeth,
The easiest way I have found to keep the posts I like at hand is to make a bookmarks folder (mine is called- FF jewels) and go to the first page of the thread and save the bookmark in that folder. 

Surprisingly this thread was the first bookmark I made

Like Ken said in one of his other threads, There is such a huge amount of information on this board, which is timeless, that one needs to start bumping older and interesting threads so that us newbies have a chance to see them

As of now, this seems to be the best way.

Happy hunting
-Prasad

SPENCERIAN BUSINESS WRITING

The 'Business Writing' alphabet and text were written with a Pelikan fountain pen fitted with a round-tipped nib.
The ink for both was Aurora black and the paper was Conqueror smooth white.

Hi Ken, thank you so much for sharing!

I am currently studying Copperplate, but I also want to learn Business Script for daily handwriting. Can you suggest references for beginners that are readily available in the net?

Thank you!

"Modern Business Penmanship" by E C Mills is free for download on the IAMPETH site.

Probably the best source for this style.

This just blows me away!  I have mostly forgotten what I was originally taught about penmanship but when I looked at this exemplar - this is IT!  The capitals I learned weren't quite as ornate as this but the lowercase letters are all virtually identical to what my primordial grade-school brain remembers.  This really makes me want to reconsider my goal of italic (for my everyday) and using this exemplar. Ha, I think if my teacher had has such penmanship maybe I would have paid better attention!

The text itself is a joy - I mean the single page essay of the topic, very convincing for me in my current state.  Mr. Fraser, you are quite a wonder!

MADARASZ SCRIPT 

This well-admired hand was devised by Louis Madarasz. He called this Spencerian/Copperplate hybrid, "Madarasz Script". It was written here with a Brause Rose 76 nib and Higgins Eternal ink.
