What Is This Script?

Is there a name for the general kind of flex-pen script demonstrated in this image?

 

I'd like to see a full alphabet and other specific examples of this kind of script.

Sorry, while this script could be produced by a flex pen, it looks to my eye more as if it is produced by a broad-edged pen. Say, something similar to a Pilot Parallel, 3.8 mm wide. Very much a master penman's script, sort of an advertising script. The hairlines would be produced by using the corner of the pen.

 

As to where you may find more of this style of script, would suggest googling Herman Zapf. He loved styles like this.

 

Maybe some of our other penmen would care to comment or have a better idea of the script. I usually work mostly with italic scripts.

 

Enjoy,

Yours,
Randal

From a person's actions, we may infer attitudes, beliefs, --- and values. We do not know these characteristics outright. The human dichotomies of trust and distrust, honor and duplicity, love and hate --- all depend on internal states we cannot directly experience. Isn't this what adds zest to our life?

it's indeed made by a flex pen.

if you look on youtube or nibs.com for the Falcon Spencerian grind you'll find a video with this lettering. Leigh Reyes in her blog uses almost the same script.

It has no special name nor is it a formal script, it's just a personal cursive inspired by several letterforms from different writing styles

Greetings,

Michael

Yeah, that fellow in the video just made that up. It's just very practiced and consistent, that's why it looks like something.

This is a video you might like:

      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..

      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

      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
