Copperplate, Engrosser's Script, Roundhand Calligraphy / Re: G and G

« Last post by Ken Fraser on Today at 04:48:01 AM »

LOVE this! My parents were George and Gail.  And my mom goes by GG to the grandkids. Love seeing these two different G’s together. 

I really like the Spencerian majuscules - in fact I sometimes prefer them to the conventional Copperplate majuscules with Copperplate minuscules (sacrilege).

Rachmaninoff: Piano concerto #2 in C minor.
Beautiful piece of music to listen too when partaking in drills.

Hand lettering, like calligraphy, it is an art form that moves letters from symbols to artistic endeavors. Many messages should be more than stiff text that only conveys a simple message. Any artistic form of writing like, facial expressions, can expand the message, with grace and style; and or with strength and dignity.
