@freemo @calligraphy idk about english, but for german there were specific rules where to use long s and normal s.
slight digression: i sometimes miss those old, more organic style of things. they have a more human quality imho. the same goes for old fonts. e.g. i like garamond very much because it feels organic and less sterile than more modern fonts like grotesque.

Playing with the archaic long-s style.

1 is the modern form,

2 would be the form from 18th century and before,

3 is replacing all styles of s with the long-s

Hmmm... I am considering if I want to start using the archaic long-s in my copperplate writing... Let me try to do an example and see how I like it...

Its like saying "condoms are proven to work"... well yea, but not when you reuse them a dozen times and take them half-off half a dozen times during sex.

My reattempt at the Aleister Crowley quote. A few notable mistakes but considering i haven't practiced in months id say its a lot better than i expected. I clearly need to get back t practicing though as the writing looks a bit strained.

@calligraphy

I really wish I knew how to flourish in my calligraphy. I really need to figure out a way to practice it.

@freemo At least, when they're leaky, that gooey stuff will fall off, not fall on top of the board!

:P

Much like the food pyramid a well rounded rebuttal will include all the elements from this pyramid.

God damnit. I got half way through writing this long quote and someone distracted me and i screwed up. I hate when this happens!!! It was looking pretty nice to... Oh well gonna start over.

The Earth "rose" because the spacecraft was traveling over the Moon's surface. An earthrise that might be witnessed from the surface of the Moon would be quite unlike moonrises on Earth. Because the Moon is tidally locked with the Earth, one side of the Moon always faces toward Earth. Interpretation of this fact would lead one to believe that the Earth's position is fixed on the lunar sky and no earthrises can occur; however, the Moon librates slightly, which causes the Earth to draw a Lissajous figure on the sky. This figure fits inside a rectangle 15ยฐ48' wide and 13ยฐ20' high (in angular dimensions), while the angular diameter of the Earth as seen from Moon is only about 2ยฐ. This means that earthrises are visible near the edge of the Earth-observable surface of the Moon (about 20% of the surface). Since a full libration cycle takes about 27 days, earthrises are very slow, and it takes about 48 hours for Earth to clear its diameter.[21] During the course of the month-long lunar orbit, an observer would additionally witness a succession of "Earth phases", much like the lunar phases seen from Earth. That is what accounts for the half-illuminated globe, the ashen glow, seen in the photograph.

I have switched the style on my lowercase k and with that suddenly my (Italian Hand variant) finally looks nice. No matter what i did i never could get the style of the k to look right using its normal form.
