Gothic Scripts Textualis Quadrata is the basis of the scripts in the Gothic Era. It is from this simple script most of the hands in the Mediaeval Period derive. I developed my PAScribe Geometric Textualis Quadrata as a teaching mechanism for the learning of broad nib scripts but also to simplify this script due to the number of variants from 1250 up to the present day. The Lecture on Tuesday April 6th will give you an historical palaeographical overview of the scripts and introduce you to the complexity of the range letterforms with fall under Quadrata. The Workshop on Sunday April 11th will teach you the grounding framework I developed to help you approach any variant with confidence. Come join us for an insightful look at an amazing script.

A while ago, @fabercastelldeutschland was so kind to send me their Calligraphy Studio Box in exchange for reviewing it. The box contains 12 lightfast and waterproof calligraphy felt pens with a broad tip (roughly 2 mm) in a range of rather natural shades, here the warmer hues (the colder ones include white, two greys, a blue and a green). I’m by no means an expert in broad pen calligraphy, which makes me maybe a good person to test these! The nice thing about calligraphy felt pens is that you don’t have to hassle with technical problems like ink flow, which nibs to use etc., so they’re very beginner friendly in general. What I find pleasently surprising with the Pitt Artist Pens specifically is that they are really firm and hold their shape quite well. Also you can get nice hairlines for serifs, flourishes etc. by tilting them a bit. So, thanks Faber Castell! I’d love a lighter grey-blue instead of the many brown tones, but that’ just me (if you look around my feed, I do like my light blues …), and maybe a red that is a tad less magenta / pink. But overall – lovely to write with! :: I was practicing Kurrent capitals using an exemplar by master scribe Wolfgang Fugger (1553). You can see that they look *very* similar to Fraktur capitals – as he puts it (roughly translated from German): »The versal or capital letters / are made and varied in different ways / as you can see on the opposite page / you can use them with all Kurrent / Chancery / and Fraktur scripts / but in the larger scripts / as in the Fraktur / you can add flourishes (as shown before) / but in moderation / and as much as the circumstances demand.« — Sometimes I think I like researching script at least as much as writing! :: I tested the pens also on white paper, but I really think they look great on grey – here I used the calligraphy pad by @pascribe! :: #calligraphy #madewithfabercastell #pittartistpencalligraphy #kalligraphie #kalligrafie #caligrafia #gothicscript #kurrentscript #kurrentschrift #gothiccaps #calligraphypen #calligraphypad #pascriberhodiapads #rhodianotebooks #calligraphypractice #kalligrafieüben #calligraphyreview https://www.instagram.com/p/CPYKpZ4An3F/?utm_medium=tumblr
