Quote From Aristotle In Gothic Batarde

[smk]

I found this in the mess that is my desk :-) I did this a while ago and thought it is worth sharing. My scanner is not cooperating and insists on this level of contrast.

 

This was written with somewhat diluted Noodler's Black that I like a lot for pointed pen work - it doesn't go on as dark when used with edged nibs though.

A lot of work and practice went in to making that sample.

It is such a modern quote - it really is hard to believe that it was "penned" some two and half thousands years ago!

 

Your rendition it most stunning!

 

I like the slightly ragged edges of the letters - they make the whole thing look somehow more authentic - like it was really taken from an old medieval manuscript.

And the ink is wonderfully subtly shady.
