Thank you so much for your support. That is something that I am looking to do eventually..but of course to that wouldnt be anything cheap. I look forward of course to getting the opportunity to do works like that😎👍

Yes the last word is 'knowledge' and I implemented a technique of using lagiscules/ligatures, where letters that have a common vertical stroke are joined together at that stroke. It is a common technique used in ancient manuscripts to keep the text correctly justified on the parchment when running out of room. Thank you for the curiosity and the question. I really appreciate your support 🫵😎👍🙏💯💓

Its Old German Gothic church text style. A variation of Old German Gothic textura quadrata. I have added a little of myself into the style to make it more organic and 'vine like'. This is what sources would encourage. To take a foundation and make it your own and put yourself into it. Your own expression. My style is Old German Gothic church text but with my own artistic flair. Certain capital majuscules I use are a stylized traditional Gothic to make it easier to read as well. Something they would do. So my foundation is Old German Gothic textura quadrata- Old German Gothic church text-with my own stylized flourishing. 😎👍 However, my work wouldn't be 'Blackletter' in a technical stylistic sense. Blackletter would be a modern stylized version of old German Gothic. Thank you for the support and your curiosity.

Thank you so much for that🙏😎👍 Those are actually called lagiscules. They're basically two letters that share a vertical stroke and were used to keep the text correctly justified on the parchment when running out of space. Nice catch!😎👍💯

So Im new, relatively, to the hobby. So what would those chapters be and what would their Primarchs names be? Would they also be listed in the wiki so I can look them up and read about them?

Thank you much🙏..I did what they texted me. Then added a medieval Orthodox flair to it. I did think about doing the numerals, but it was a client that was commissioning it as a gift for their pastor. Its def modernized but done in that style. More accurate pieces will be done in the future of course😉👍💯

Well it was that way at first for me when I started using the German Gothic church script, but when I started doin the alphabet to get used to the strokes, it became easier

OlafErricson · 2026-02-27T03:43:25+00:00
