Mine looks about like this:

I was working on italic printing, but my copy of the Getty/Dubay book got stolen with my bag. I've noticed since I don't practice with the templates, it has gone downhill.

 

On the other hand, my calligraphy looks pretty good. I just haven't gotten 'round to fusing the two in a way that's functional.

vidalia11,

Beautiful, flowing Business Writing and outstanding Italic. The second paragraph in particular is a really fine example of Italic Handwriting; even, balanced and perfectly legible at speed. :thumbup:

 

In the italic, if the lines of writing had been just a little further apart, so that the ascenders and descenders were clear of each other, it would have been even better. This is by no means a criticism, merely an observation!

This is a sample from some old working notes (Pelikan M400 and Noodler's Black).

That's a beautiful $\xi$ and some nice $\omega$'s, but I think your $\Omega$ is far too squished.

Also, are those $v$'s or $\nu$'s? They are very nice for either, but it's important to distinguish them.

+1 on Apotheosis' handwriting. I like it (and so many others) much better than my own!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o
    • adamselene
      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
