A personal interpretation of Roman minuscule cursive I’ve been working on – on and off – in the last few months. It’s inspired by versions from @julien_chazal and #gottfriedpott, as well as from contemporary examples. As these are pretty wild I feel there is no “historically accurate” version of this script – that was before writing manuals with a fixed version of an everyday script were created! It’s fun to try around with that and develop my own more formal version. Also writing with a glass pen is always relaxing, and I do have a soft spot for monoline writing … :: #calligraphy #kalligrafie #kalligraphie #monoline #romancursive #miniscule #glasspen #watercolors #schmincke #schminckewatercolor #glasfeder #aquarellfarben #flourishforum #federflugcalligraphy https://www.instagram.com/p/CdTPNUUDfmI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Recently, I’ve been down some fascinating research and experimenting rabbit holes with father Catich’s wonderful book »The Origin Of The Serif«, a must-read for understanding the Latin alphabet and its history a bit better and more in depth. The archaic monoline Roman Capitals that are still very close to its Graeco-Phoenician-Etruscan predecessors are such a joy to write with a glass pen and some watercolors! Tried my hand also on Roman Cursive Minuscules based on Gottfried Pott’s (#gottfriedpott) and @julien_chazal’s versions. #calligraphy #kalligrafie #kalligraphie #caligrafia #caligrafía #calligraphie #archaiclatin #romancapitals #romanmonoline #romancursive #fathercatich #originoftheserif #lettering #typographyrelated #watercolors #aquarellfarbe #aquarellfarben #schmincke #horadam #horadamaquarell #calligraphypractice #letterlove #handwriting #handschrift #flourishforum #federflugcalligraphy https://www.instagram.com/p/CTKv-pWDzjm/?utm_medium=tumblr
