What Does Your Handwriting Look Like

Recommended Posts

The below is my normal paced writing. I am seriously thinking of getting a finer nib for my writing. Even if it does mean I lose some shading with better suited inks.

 

I really wasn't going for presentation, but any critique would be welcomed.

I like your handwriting, Inn3rs3lf!

 

A finer pen might open up your e's, but with your current pen your script is perfectly legible too.

I did some more italic practise.

 

I decided to write out some blog posts I needed to do, so I could combine what I wanted to do with what I was supposed to be doing.

 

Here is my normal handwriting, where I composed the text. I can write reasonably straight without guides.

These were written with a recently-acquired Osmiroid 75 with an italic extra fine straight nib. The ink is whatever was in the pen - I'd just added enough water to get it going and decided to write it empty because I just discovered piston fillers take forever to clean out by sucking up and expelling water... You can see it ran out during the third composition - I'd added more water but it was too faint by then so I finished cleaning it.
Here's the first go - this was still with the old ink. I'd printed out some guide paper and this was the first time I'd used it. I was trying to get it all on one sheet (and failed) hence the lack of paragraph spacing. I was also putting one letter in each grid box, meaning my spacing is rather odd - the 'm's are very squished and some words are over-expanded. I used the calligraphy paper PDF generator at calligraphypaper.appspot.com printed out on my normal printer paper.

I aso realised I hadn't practised capitals at all...
Second post: ink had run out so I refilled with Diamine indigo. The two look closer in the pics than they should - the original ink was a nice blue/blue-black and indigo has more of a steel grey tint in it. This time I used slightly smaller paper - 0.5 rather than 0.6mm nib size, and with halfway vertical guides too. I mostly ignored the guide boxes this time, just using them to go vaguely in the right direction and not for spacing. Also less obvious in the photo, it starts out with wetter writing so the letters are darker, then for the rest my writing angle must have changed, as I have drier writing and it also gets bigger. That was partly the fault of writing without bright enough light coming from the right direction, as I couldn't always see the guidelines... The part at the bottom is darker and smaller again. I couldn't work out how to write the correct s at that size - it's supposed to be a narrow letter and it was very difficult not to write it wider.

Third: I went back to the bigger size but kept the extra verticals. It's looking a bit better, though still various irregularities.

Some practise, may also show the ink colour difference a little.

Big practice, back with the Lamy Joy and 1.9mm nib. I managed the s shape once or twice at this size!

When I write quickly, my writing is a pretty hashed mix of printed and cursive letters.

When I slow down a little, it doesn't get a lot better, but at least it is legible:

The thought inspiration for today comes from one of the most prolific poet of her times, Emily Dickinson.

The pen in rotation today is loaned to me by my friend Tervinder for nib grinding which is Fosfor Custom Pen with Red Bands and Bock Stahl (not so) Rot Nib. It is inked with my favourite Blue Black Ink : Edelstein Tanaznite.

My handwriting looks like this below. Trying a new script.



I am using my new ASA TransNauka which fitted with 1.1 Black Oxide JoWo Nib and Inked with Iroshizuku Yama-Budo.

I would be interested to see what others thought of my handwriting. Top is ballpoint bottom in Fountain pen. I personally think my handwriting gets better with fountain pen, but I've been known to be wrong too. post-37323-0-77588600-1466176346_thumb.jpg

Tinkering around with a 1.5 nib on the Hero 5028. Hero 5028 comes with (3) broad nibs: 1.1, 1.5 & 1.9.

Chomann, I too like the FP version better. Perhaps not so much because of the letter forms, but rather because of the crisper and more solid lines it seems to produce.
