A few months back I had this mesmeric back and fourth with one of our forums members who really flourished this love for typography I never knew I had ( :love:

Fudge_Dumpling). Ever since I always find myself scouring for more; leading me to the point of my thread. This man.

I would have posted this in AC but I can see the tumbleweeds rolling from here so I'm hoping it will be better appreciated in OTL.

Post thoughts, talking points, the first time you realized that mixing your corn in with your mashed potatoes was genius! Or simply your awes, what evs.

My father is a really really good "typographer" (thats how you call them?). He can write in the coolest way possible,it's truly an art. When he was a kid he would get hired to write on boards for the local stores

That's really cool. If your pops has an pictures of that I would love to see!

Last year I lived in a house for rent near Little Italy (Toronto) where one of the small cafe I frequented had a chalk board he would write his special/menu on. He also had really fine calligraphy, I would always just wined up staring at him when ever it was time to change it. O.O

I decided i'm going to learn to write properly. My hand writing is ugly. It should be something of pride.

I await the day dom: The menace from venice dominates the world of penmanship!

Who knows maybe you can be part of the next "Legacy of Letters" Tour.

Post a "before" so we have something to compare lol.

I actually can write nicely, but that takes time. It's going to be an exercise in discipline.

I naturally writes nicely. Everyone keeps saying I "write like a girl". Even my teachers.

You are the opposite of me, my teachers always complained about my handwriting, I guess I got that from my father. :soosad:

d'aww you remembered :love:

That's some pretty sweet calligraphy. I've never tried calligraphy myself but it looks really fun. Maybe I could try it one of these days, though getting used to a wedged tip would take some getting used to. It's a bit out of my comfort zone though since most typography I try is digital and enjoy normal writing when not on a computer. But I'm also a pretentious Moleskine user so I'll give it a try just to finish these last few pages and have an excuse to buy a new one.

Lol Fudge you could always fill up those last few pages with how you want to come to Canada. Yep, yep I think that would be the best use for them.
