What Does Your Handwriting Look Like

Is that railroading intended? Or is it a result of pressing harder on a dry nib to coax more ink out of it?

I'm not criticising – just curious.

 

Cheers,

David.

 

David, there is no railroading. The nib is a medium italic and not a flex nib. Also do not press down hard on my nibs. If a nib is too dry, I tweak it to make it a wetter nib. Here is a closer snap for your perusal. Hope that helps.

Thanks, Helen. Maybe I was being a bit extreme in calling it railroading. The density of the ink is greater on the lateral borders of many of the downstrokes, leaving the centres quite sparsely coloured. I love broad italic nibs but I have never seen that feature, although that may be because I like nibs that are extravagantly generous of ink flow.

 

I like the colour of the ink in that expanded image, by the way.

Do you believe in spontaneous combustion?

 

Happened to me once.

Thanks for your writing stroke insights. Never evaluated my writing in that fashion. Good to know info! The ink is Chesterfield Antique Mariner, which is a pale blue/greyish. Don't use it often. Also the paper is an inexpensive notebook paper I purchased from Dollar General, instead of my Black n' Red Notebook or Rhodia Dotpad. I am one who does like a generous ink flow, and really prefer broad or 1.1 stubs. As noted, the nib on this Wing Sung 698 is a medium italic (initially came with an EF & exchanged for the med. italic).
