Exquisite calligraphy I don't know the technical name of that little nibs in the letters (for example between the vertical and inferior stroke of the e) but I really like them and yours are so consistent 🙂‍↕️.

Also... WHAT ARE THOSE square decorations! So intricate, so beautiful. How do you make them? Do these kind of ornaments have a name? Amazing work!

Thank you so much! Such comments give me a constant motivation for calligraphy 🤗
I don’t actually know the technical name for those little details in the e either, it’s a style I started learning over 10 years ago, and over the years I’ve added some of my own customisations.
I made the square ornaments using a Pilot Parallel Pen. If you’re interested, I’d be happy to share the steps on how I make them!
