What Does Your Handwriting Look Like

[pyotrkot]

I would definitely agree that the Oblique is the more legible. The Stub tends toward a heavier line whereas, the Oblique is finer and the letters more clearly defined. I found the Oblique page much easier to read.

Your hand writing looks quite nice, and the line variation is great. It's amazing how unique and personal everyone's chicken scratch is. Receiving a hand written note or letter sure beats a typed letter. It is so much more personal.

I definitely agree! A hand written note is nicer than a typed letter.

Years ago i participated briefly in the post card exchange here but, time was limited and i dropped out. Often wished i had kept it up.

If i can sucessfully post a photo i will upload my "chicken scratch" for comments.

Nice to bump into another Canadian here.

Like wise. Eh! Always nice to meet a fellow Canadian in cyberspace.

Here is a great video that captures the passion of hand writing nicely that I posted a while ago here that perhaps some might enjoy.

I like your script - it's easy to read, attractive looking and the ink color is cheery.

'max dog' thanks for posting the INK video; beautiful calligraphy!

 

Could you please tell me what dip pen nib the young woman is using at

the 4:00 minute mark when the ink splatters on the page? My brother wants

to try writing like that but mentioned not being able to find a similar flex nib.

Pretty sure it's a Leonardt Principal EF Nib. There are a lot of good, flexible pens made today, and even more vintage ones. The Zebra G is a good modern flexible dip pen for beginners. If he's ready for something more challenging, then a Hunt 56 (vintage is better, modern will do) or a whole bunch of others will work. He can try a Leonardt Principal, but as you can see in the video it's more prone to catching, and the quality can be a bit spotty. When they're good, they're quite good. Or he can look for a vintage Gillott 1 Principality, which is the vintage nib the Leonardt Principle is based on. If he can find one, they go for $30+ each and don't last long.

Hi Inkroyable. While I'm not sure what dip pen is used in the video, from my personal experience, I find Speedball Dip Pen Holders and nibs work well and are very affordable. In Canada they sell them at craft stores like Michael's. For flex writing look for Speedball nib # 101 Imperial or 103 Mapping nib. The 101 is the best.

 

Note:

These steel dip nibs come dipped in factory oils to prevent them from corroding but prevents ink flow, so be sure to wipe off the oils by using tooth paste, or quickly pass it over a candle flame to burn the oils away. Saliva works too.
