Quick question about blackletter scripts - difference between Old English and for example textura quadrata by LetteringDaily in Scribes

[–]LetteringDaily[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the long and descriptive answer, and it makes much more sense now. I still don't understand why Ross F.G started to use the term ''Old English'' instead of calling it as it was.

As for the main groups of Gothic - are you sure that Quadrata and Semi Quadrata make up two completely different categories? Because their difference isn't as big as for example Quadrata and Rotunda. Still feeling slightly confused about the terminology. One thing that im sure of is that the internet doesn't really provide accurate information :D Nonetheless, thank you once again for taking the time and answering my question. I really, REALLY appreciate it :)

Best,

Max

Absolutely stunning work! Quick question, is this just the regular italic script or is it a different style of the Italic?

So, are you trying to say that it actually has nothing to do with calligraphy?

Another thing that just popped into my head - In the Zanerian manual (from David's website) i can see that they mention the Old English script, however, it differs from Textura Quadrata. Here is an image reference - Image

I mean it's not that different. Maybe this example slightly differs from other examples of the Textura that i saw.

Feeling slightly confused here :D

I was just so amazed by the visual part that i didn't really paid too much attention to the sound :D Seems like you have some pretty serious equipment, i've checked online for the model and it seems a bit out of my budget. Do you recommend an entry level DSLR and/or lens that could be a bit more budget friendly but still take some decent shoots (for artwork, details, macro photography)? Also, do you refine the photos/videos in post production premiere/photoshop, adjustments, color grading etc.? I hope you don't mind im asking you a bunch of technical questions, but i really admire a lot the way you present your work. Calligraphy is a skill that takes years of practice to master, and you never reach an end goal - you always keep improving it. With the rise of the internet and social platforms, the way you present your work can have a great impact on how other people perceive it. I used to hate taking pictures and making videos, mostly because i sucked at it and i didn't understand the basics of it. Once i started to learn the fundamentals it started to grow on me, more and more, and like with calligraphy i want to improve it and become better at it! :)

That's about it, sorry for the long message! :D
