@trinsec Here is a letter I wrote back when i was practicing different styles. I wrote each page in a slightly different hand. The first pace is a slightly more modern style of copperplate with my own style variations, the second is a more traditional copper plate.

@trinsec I find it to be one of the prettier flex-nib fonts around. Also the most traditional which is cool. That said I am not opposed to playing with other flex hands, including ones I've made up myself.

@trinsec The r is another topic that is a bit complicated. There are two forms of the r one called a full r (which i am using here) the other called a half-r (which tends to be more common as the full-r is a bit antiquated)

There are specific rules as to when to use a full vs half r.

@trinsec from my understanding though the distinction comes fromt he curly'q in the first place.. the "hook" is what makes it a w. check out the example where an n has no "hook" where the w does.

@trinsec hahaha ill ask my professional scribe about it..

@trinsec I would say its where the w ends and the z begins. Its both :)

@Foneguy89 Doctors can be wrong... or perhaps it just lacked context I cant say.. but the stats he is citing as they appear here (out of context) are simply not true.

As of about a week or so ago we were seeing 57% of new COVID patients in israel as having been vaccinated, a far cry from the 85-90% he is citing. 57% is not unusual given the vaccination levels, 85% - 90% would be.

@trinsec in both examples the w transitions into the x with the little 360 I already did but I dont see any additional hook added on top.

@trinsec We would have to consult an expert beyond either of us to really answer this one... I cant say if that would be traditional or not.

@Foneguy89 At first glance this worried me and I even reshared. Now that I researched the data a bit deeper I realized the numbers are completely false and misleading. Though I will say ADE is a potential concern and the numbers could tilt that way. But we arent there yet and this post doesnt cite factual data.

@trinsec yea in italian hand in this example they do look seperate. But in both round hand examples the w continues into the next letter. Now sure if the split in italian hand is typical (have not noticed it before).. but regardless my version is closer to roundhand than italian hand.

@trinsec Here is an engraving showing English round hand (which is the original copperplate and purists will claim the only correct form) and Italian hand for comparison.. As you can see the w matches my style in all 3 variations of roundhand and Italian hand.

@trinsec depends who you ask. But in practice, yes, there is a lot of variation that will be called copper plate. The funky w is fairly traditional and used less and less. But the main types are round hand, Italian hand, engraver's and engrosses variants.
