An attempt at some Italian hand Copperplate calligraphy i just did for my sister.
@freemo Oh hey, it's the "full R" again! It even looks good after a letter like E that ends low. :)
I've been trying to use it in my writing. First problem is breaking the habit of the "half R" I've used since the third grade - I don't often catch myself in time to use the new letterform. Second problem, though, is that I can't get a satisfactory result with the RS digraph - I always end up with an awkwardly large gap between the bottoms of the letters. Would you be willing to post an example of that's supposed to look?
@khird
I love the full r. Only time i really use a half r is when i know the next letter needs a low lead in, for example "rs" ill use a half r for. Im glad i introduced you to it ;)
@freemo Ah I thought it was the *preceding* letter *ending* low that indicated the use of the half R, not the following letter beginning low. Makes sense, thanks!
@khird
It is the preceeding letter strictly speaking, i just cheat cause it looks better with the half r. Anyway here is both
@khird
You will find i often break the rules on when i use one r or the other just based on what i like. But if your all about doing it right then yea its the leadin that makes the difference.
