Neat Letters/Sloppy Letters
@hamburgefonstiv.bsky.social
Random type, neat or sloppy. Ideally more interesting than perfect
Stone-carved a spiral with translation contrast (or broad pen contrast). Love working with chisels but I feel like I sharpen them wrong (same with knives).
Stone ← → some sketches
bit wonky but I still love 🌻

Brush calligraphy with details corrected via black pen & white pen.
Made it as lettering for a book cover, but I didn’t like it in the end.

Always a good idea fill in #type drawings with black. Outlines can be used to judge shape but volume is needed to judge balance.
This drawing won’t be balanced exactly because I refused to use white ink.. oh well

New yearly ligature; 25
Works only for book figures, which is how all figures should be written anyway
might need some workshopping yet

A cute version of the 24 ligature (that unfortunately will be leaving common use next month)
Just a timestamp I put on some new genmaicha to mark the opening date.

Spilled some olive oil on a note (written with my non-dominant hand)
The ink is one of my favourites; MB’s brown from the Around the World in 80 Days line.

The traditional method of understanding capitals is to sell your soul to the devil. And then you still don’t get it.
Some relatively clean brush caps written with a 13mm flatbrush

Yesterday’s quick letter sketches. Ballpoint pen on thin paper for the no-takesie-backsie factor.
