Hello everyone,

I need to make a huge wooden sign with the writing in Greek made with the Gothic hand. There are letters in the greek alphabet that are quite difficult to adapt to Gothic. Can anyone advise a source where I can find anything similar? Many thanks!

Did you find what you needed for adapting the greek to blackletter/gothic? I might be able to help. I teach calligraphy.

Is this ancient Greek alphabet that you are talking about? In my opinion, Greek alphabet and Gothic alphabet do not collude well together. The Greek alphabet is known to be more unadorned, austere, frugal and minimalist compared to the Gothic in general terms. If I dare suggest a link, here is one: http://tied.verbix.com/project/script/gothi.html I am sorry I could not help more.

      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

      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
