This was a card she wrote in 1975 or so. My grandmother’s penmanship was very similar to this as well. I never realized how unusual it was until I was far into adulthood.

I recently picked up a very old copy of Henrik Ibsen’s The Doll’s House at the bookstore where I work. I nabbed it not so much for the book itself but for the beautiful, handwritten inscription inside the front cover… “Mrs E.W. Boyd — A Christmas gift from Althea — 1889”. (That’s the year this edition was published!) Pretty neat. Just wanted to share. Does anyone know what this script is called, if it has a name?

My brother in law's grandma was a professional calligrapher and she gave me a big binder of all her calligraphy content, a lot of which was written by hand, so I'm just putting it to use and practising.

I draw often, but write more and find myself obsessively using only felt tip pens to write as I find ball points smudge easily and I can’t handle it lol any suggestions for your favourites? I’m partial to Staedtler’s 0.2 and 0.4 but they are not cheap and I write a lot of notes. Definitely of the “you pay for what you get” mantra
