I've been trying out one of my favorite calligraphy alphabets with an eye to turning it into a type face. It's making me look really hard at its structure, proportions, and stroke endings and try to analyze things I've been doing by instinct. Here's where I am currently, showing the 6th iteration . Specs: Letter body 5 1/2 pen widths high. Speedball D nib, with line contrast of about 7 to 11. Pen angle 35°. Real size, 1 1/4" high. I've marked with pencil the areas I need to look at more carefully, things that will need adjusting to make a unified style and fit the letters together.
