I would say, that quality of instructions is poor.

 

  1. A ductus with order of strokes for each letter or combination thereof would be nice.
  2. They use "handwriting" fonts to generate examples (not actual writing). There are inconsistencies in angle between exit strokes of majuscules and entry strokes of minuscules.
  3. Minuscule "a" is a two stroke letter?
  4. Join from "o" to "n" seems somehow unnatural, how would one implement it at speed?
  5. Minuscule "t" is reminiscent of kurrentschrift.
  6. Overall impression is of aiming for perfect form as opposed to acquiring flowing movement.

Thanks, Budzynski, for the book. Perhaps not the best but it is a good example of the level of writing that is currently taught around the world. At least handwriting is being taught in Germany.

 

Recently was in Germany, was pleased to see that fountain pens and inks were available in many grocery stores, post offices, and other general shopping areas. Even a few stub nibs, usually by ONLINE pens. So Deutsch Kalligrafie isn't dead. Even recognized as valuable by a few persons.

 

While checking my bag for the flight home, overheard the luggage attendant saying to one of his peers, "Now, THAT is handwriting!" as he checked the address tag on my bag. Guess my Italic is okay.

 

I plan on going through the book you put up and reading it -- see if I can understand the German with out too much effort.

 

Enjoy,

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?

      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
