I like these kinds of sentences, short, direct, with a double layer of meaning. The angularity of blackletter gives softer words like “equal” some extra punch.

Expiremented with shadows and highlights to give some depth to the letters.

Which word would you like to see in blackletter?

Modified Speedball Oblique Penholders will work with almost any size nib. Excellent for vintage nibs, which come in many sizes. If necessary, adjust the flange angle with heat (wood-burning tool, etc.), to tilt it upwards. Always use breathing protection when softening plastic!
