Hello From The Hudson Valley

Hello. I'm a woodturner located in the Mid Hudson Valley. I do not make pens, but perhaps I should reconsider.

 

I have a Montblanc Meisterstuck Solitaire Sterling Silver Pinstripe Ballpoint Pen with a B nib. The nib is broad.

 

I want to improve my handwriting and found some lovely italic scripts. However, since my nib is broad, I can't recreate the look.

 

Can anyone recommend a nice script for a broad nib? I've tried Cursive Italic and Spencerian but they look clunky. I've tried various script fonts in InDesign and those too look awful - Alex Bruch, Allura, Bickham, Chancery, Edwardian, Freebooter, Pushkin, Scriptina, Snell Roundhand, Tangerine and Zapfino.

 

Any Advice?

 

Thank you all so much!

 

Jenn

Welcome to this friendly little corner of the universe from a fountain pen user in San Diego. If you have a ballpoint pen (unless you misspoke) you can purchase a refill in a fine point. I'm not a calligrapher so cannot offer more but I'm sure you'll get some useful suggestions.

Hello Jenn and welcome to FPN, from Cape Town, South Africa.

To sit at one's table on a sunny morning, with four clear hours of uninterruptible security, plenty of nice white paper, and a [fountain] pen - that is true happiness!

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
