I’ve been trying my hand at Copperplate calligraphy recently. I thought this “Abomination” was pretty nice. Except for the slight blob at the leader for the “b.” I think something was stuck in the tines of my nib. And also the uneven cross bar of the “t.” Still working on that.

Why “Abomination”? Why not?
- Gillott 404 nib
- Moon Palace sumi ink
- M by Staples notebook paper (don’t know the weight and I happened to have a stack on my desk)
Have you ever heard that unicorns poop out rainbows? I have. And it’s never made any sense to me. Poo (which as a word is 20% funnier than all of its synonyms) it’s solid waste. Rainbows are not solid. I would be willing to accept that rainbows are unicorn farts though. I mean, it still technically doesn’t make sense but it’s not as big of a leap as rainbows::poo.
