Edward Johnston's "Foundational Hand" first appeared in print in 1906. He devised this hugely-influential hand after studying 10th century manuscripts.
This was written with a Manuscript fountain pen fitted with a 2B square-edged nib.

I have to say, I never really liked Foundational Hand...but you make it look so good. Thank you for putting this up, it's beautiful as always.

Very nice indeed!

Wonderful! Yet another hand to try out.

Simply great!

I saw this earlier, but only now had the opportunity to spend some time with it. As is usually the case with your posts, caliken, my attention is richly rewarded. Thanks for posting!

I'm always fascinated by your works! I know they take years of practice - and patience. I look forward to seeing your videos and samples to be able to see differing styles. Thank you!

I feel totally the same.
