We made it! The letter Z for the @handletteredABCs 2018 challenge 😊 If you want to see recordings for each letter of this 'Italian' styled variant of the classic Engrosser's Roundhand script, I'll be posting them all to a playlist on my YouTube too: https://goo.gl/NEmRfQ. • • I'm doing the whole alphabet using one of my hand carved ergonomic nib holders with a leonardt principal ef nib in Higgins eternal ink on lined Rhodia paper. • • Italian is a vague term in this context that was often used by practitioners to denote a script intended to be paired with a more commonly styled one. It rarely indicates one way or the other whether the origin of the script is/was actually Italy. As a consequence there are numerous historical scripts labeled as 'Italian' that seem to have little visual relationship to each other. I went pretty heavy on the shades for fun :D If I were using this script in a piece I'd probably lighten it up a bit unless it was going to be for a big, dramatic title of some sort. • • Music playing while I was writing is from Missing Vwls. • • #HooksHolders #HooksHandLetteredABCs #HooksHandLetteredABCS_2018 #calligraphy #pointedpen #roundhand #engrossersscript #copperplate #Italianscript #Higginseternal #LeonardtPrincipal #Rhodia #MissingVwls #calligraphyvideo #calligraphyinstruction #calligraphyalphabet #lettering #handlettering #typography #letterarchive #handletteredABCs #handletteredABCs_2018 #ABCs_z #letterarchive_z

Another sample sheet of a round hand style variant that I worked out about a couple months ago for a client invitation. They had found a photo of a turn of the century invitation that had these lovely flattened out teardrop shaped terminals. I couldn't track down any other period examples for a full alphabet in the time I had, so this is what I came up with. Afterwards I found a font, Sackers Italian script that looks like it was developed from similar letterforms, so I'm calling it an Italian round hand variant for lack of a better name.

Another portfolio sample showing exaggerated Italian caps paired with an Engrosser's script. I think I'm going to make a bunch of these faux envelopes, they're a lot of fun 😊
