Scott Kim's symmetrical alphabet, a beautiful mirror ambigram

#design #alphabet #ambigram #art #typography #calligraphy #wordplay
The Latin alphabet, ingeniously stylized and arranged to be symmetrical across the vertical axis. The letters appear in the following rows: A–F, G–J, K–N, O, P–Q, R–T, U–W, X–Z. Though immediately recognizable as the Latin alphabet, it has a striking, almost otherworldly appearance. Its designer, Scott Kim, said that ambigrams can be explained in words but that "it's like describing a dance".

Today was the last day of the gothic cursive #calligraphy workshop I've been taking. We took a two-week break between sessions 3 and 4, and I am still working through things. But in honor of #ESO release week for #Necrom, this was part of my homework for week 3. Everybody quotes Shakespeare or Zen or whatever. I like lorebooks.

Now to catch up on bastarde hand...

Handwritten text "For in each of you is housed the Divine Spark, and thus the record of thy actions is a sacred duty. Keep, therefore, each and every one of you, an OGHMA, an ever-scriven scroll which shall memorialize thy brief lives. Thus in at least this way shalt thy Spark be Immortal." Below text, citation "The Onus of the Oghma - Phrastus of Elinhir."<br />Relaxed gothic cursive text in dark purple ink with 1.5 mm Pilot Parallel pen. "Oghma" is written in 0-degree angle block capitals, black ink with 3.8-mm Pilot Parallel pen. The Elder Scrolls magical alphabet letters for "Oghma" are written over the capitals in silver, gold, and copper metallic Sharpie ink. White sketchbook paper. Pencil guidelines and margins faintly visible.

I'm trying to get back to calligraphy.
I spent 30 minutes trying to find a nib holder. I've found only one (where is all my stuff?). I'd like to hop to some cool stuff, but I'm incredibly rusty, so back to the roots! I'm going to start with uncial.

I've got a book full of calligraphy alphabets and just went through it and yeah.
#art #calligraphy #FlawsAndAll
A page full of uppercase and lowercase ees in different styles, most made with a wide nib fountain pen, all in brown ink. Some are repeated to improve on flaws of the first attempt; the last row consists of repeated attempts of one particular style wit a tricky curve instead of a vertical stem.

Fantasy with sea snake for the #CalligraWeekly prompt. This is written in an uncial script using gouache on a 4" by 8" sheet of cold press Fluid watercolor paper.

#CuratorPrompts #calligraphy

Calligraphy of the word "Fantasy" in an uncial script. The initial letter F is tall and large and written in ultramarine blue. The remaining letters of the word run vertically under the top crossbar of the F and are written in black. Coming off the descender of the letter Y is the tail of a yellow-bellied sea snake that wraps itself upwards around the main stem of the F. Its head rests on the left portion of the top crossbar of the F.

"B" written in copperplate, Spencerian and uncial scripts.

Uncial is the one in ink. I'm enjoying these challenges.

#CalligraLetters #calligraphy #mastoart
The letter B written in copperplate, uncial and Spencerian script. There are a few Spencerian versions here, the Spencerian script is very adaptable.

Ok - lots of people interested in joining in with calligraphy prompts, let's do this!

Starting today with the letter A, I'll go through the alphabet with #CalligraLetters , one letter a day. To participate, just calligraphy your variations of the daily letter. Do as many as you want and tag with the above hashtag. Have fun and be adventurous!

Then for #CalligraWeekly , your word prompt is:

Fantasy

Let's see what fun calligraphy things you can do with that! :D #Calligraphy

Gauging interest - who does #Calligraphy here? Are there enough people that there'd be some good activity if we were to run the 'calligraphy masters' type prompts where we do a letter every day, and maybe a weekly phrase/word?

I've been wanting to try #Copperplate #Calligraphy, and since I don't have enough art equipment laying around that I never use (/sarcasm), I bought an oblique penholder, a Brause Steno nib and Herbin Authentique ink.

The #smallpoem doesn't entirely make sense, since I came up with it on the fly

To the right is an oblique penholder for calligraphy, and an open bottle with black ink on a white paper. To the left is a paper with copperplate calligraphy. It reads «free ofortune shoul ld not see l the craggy alone in the world the starlings see, that winter sure is coming. The trees have shed their coats of green, and dressed in cloaks of gold. Upon the grass a hoary frost, the nights becoming cold. Around the fire, gather now, hear the tales there told. Once upon a time and place, so very long ago, a little group of humans came – and they discovered snow. When shivering they lay to rest, how little did they know, when morning came, no thing the same – they'd learn the world anew.

Abstract gestural calligraphy in black, light sand yellow and turquoise. It looks part whippy, part spiky.

Same color story, very different picture. Everything is rounder here.

Abstract gestural calligraphy piece in black, dark rust red and pale yellow. It reminds me more of Japanese calligraphy than the others.

Same colors, but this one looks heavier, more dense and less like calligraphy, more like a painting.
