Attempt at Batarde Blackletter

[QM2]

What kind of response does looking at this writing evoke in you? Is it pretty? Is it legible? Weird? Too goth/Halloween?

I like it. Very legible and pretty. Easy on the eye and not a struggle to read.

 

It goes along the lines of what I would like to produce myself for personal correspondence to others, but never have the time to actually do. I've found that I favor writing speed over more detailed lettering myself, but I sure admire it from others.

 

Oh my, I would never be able to use this hand for personal correspondence, it would take me hours! : )

 

As it is, I find that my biggest problem in calligraphy is that I write too fast, and the nibs can't keep up and end up having flow problems.
