I ordered Lloyd Reynolds's short book on italic caligraphy and handwriting, and I was discussing it with my husband. "I'm really excited about this book, because I've gotten interested in italic handwriting. I love my Lamy 2000, which I got secondhand, but it has a broad oblique nib, and it doesn't work so well with my usual handwriting, which is looped cursive and it's kind of narrow and angular." "So you're getting new handwriting to go with your pen." "Yes. Is that weird?" "Yes. Yes, it is."
