Hey there everybody!

 

i just ordered my very own monteverde impressa (broad nib) but don't have a very good handle on how to get going. is there anyway you guys here could help me out a bit?

 

I was going to ask some more talented hands to provide an example I can work to re-create and then later personalize and make my own. Id rather take direction from the experts, if you know what I mean

 

The three separate texts I am wanting to write are "YOSPOS" , "TANE" and "CHOME"

 

silly, yes, but it's for an art project and Id like to get going on it!

 

thanks in advance

Hi Angel, and welcome to FPN.

 

I'm no expert, so hopefully someone will come along and help you out. However, I'm not sure it's clear what exactly you are wanting. The pen you mention has a steel nib not suited to pointed pen calligraphy. You could draw the forms but they will not have the heavily shaded areas you see in examples posted on this subforum.

 

Are you wanting to simply know what those three words in your post look like in a calligraphic hand so that you can recreate them? If so, what styles of calligraphy are you interested in? Copperplate? Spencerian? A more modern form?

 

If you're not sure, you may be able to get some ideas from a font generator like this one.

Just typed in my name. The fonts are really interesting. Now, the duh moment question for you. What is this font generator used for routinely? Do you just download and then what? Marvel like long ago when the spray paint dried on a particular subway train or wall you just tagged? (no, never participated, just recall when graffiti was not considered art).

It's just a means to see the fonts in real text before deciding to download (they're free). You can download them to use in MS Word, Adobe Illustrator, or any other text or graphics editor.

      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
