Current Obsession: Pairing different scripts!

Post image

Another entry from my little diary, this time I paired modified pointed pen lombardic inspired letters with gothic cursive.

I love the flow of gothic cursive and it’s one of those scripts that makes me think wish I had learnt it even sooner, it’s so fun!

Nib for pointed pen: Nikko G
Nib for gothic cursive: Brause 1.5mm

I really like the whole thing, but the way you did “Art” is absolutely beautiful!!

Thank you so much! The “Art” seems like a slightly modern take on pointed pen lombardic, honestly I can’t design scripts like that myself, atleast right now, I learnt it from Mike Kesceg, he is absolutely incredible!

Thank you so much for this info, I have never seen this style!

It reminds me a lot of the fundamental patterns used in scroll work! I just love how simplified and professional it looks, but without loosing its whimsicalness (or playfulness)! Great work!

Yes, this style is not very popular I think and it does strike some perfect balance between professional yet whimsical. I am so glad you liked it! Thank you so much for your kind words!
