Exemplars

[KartiniM]

YES! YES! YES!  Ken!!!! Thank you so much for doing this. This is so wonderful to see the differences in one place. I'm so thankful to be part of a community where people are so willing to share their skill and knowledge. You've definitely peeked my interest in different scripts. This is just the push I need to not just get my toes wet, but start learning and wanting to study more; to get in the water just a bit deeper.  Thank you again!!!!

Ken,
Thank you for all of the wonderful exemplars you have provided in this thread! I am particularly fond of all the Spencerian hands you shared.  One question for you. The Tudor hand looks nearly identical to Rudolf Koch's Klingspor text.  Is it not the same? Or just as you've mentioned it was the handwritten version? What a lovely hand.

The Tudor font is identical to Rudolph Koch's Wilhelm Klingspor Gotisch. I have amended the relevant entry here, to give credit which I should have done originally. Thank you for pointing it out. It is a truly beautiful font and, having been designed by a calligrapher, is fairly easy to mimic by hand.

I'm very new to calligraphy so your beautiful exemplars are so useful to see and having them all in one thread like this has helped me to understand some of the different styles. Your penmanship is awesome

I can only wonder in complete astonishment how one person could so successfully accomplish so many different hands in only a single lifetime! Thanks, Ken, for sharing these with us!
