@paradoxmo A lovely colour! I love your handwriting, by the way. It looks like a calligraphic exercise to me. Did you use any model or technique to practise?
@voicilefer the thing about italic is that it’s really adaptable, it works at most sizes and doesn’t get sloppy when you write fast, unlike cursive. And you don’t need any special pen for it, broad edge is what it’s designed for but it works just as well with a round nib. You can look through my past posts, I did one ink a day for the last month and often I used italic.
I actually use a simplified oblique italic for my daily handwriting.
@paradoxmo actually, the need for broad edge was what made me a bit reluctant to try the style, but now I'm definitely going for it. I use a variant of a mixture of Spencerian and Palmer for daily handwriting but I'd love to learn italic for titles or special occasions. Thanks again!
