    Does the page look well-balanced? 2. Are the margins adequate? 3. Is the meaning or mood of the words expressed well? 4. Have contrasting elements been used effectively? 5. Is there a feeling of overall harmony? 6. Is only one element truly dominant on the page? 7. Are the eyes first attracted to the lettering rather than to empty white space? 8. Is there a feeling of life and energy present?

    Osmiroid makes colored inks for fountain pens, and Winsor & Newton, as well as Pelikan, make colored inks that can be used with dip pens. Dr. Martins is a brand of concentrated liquid watercolor that comes in a great variety of colors.

    Pelikan is another brand of black ink worth trying, as is Waterman’s or Stephen’s.

  • Романhas quoted8 years ago
    The very first printed book on lettering, the Alphabetum of Damianus Moyllus of 1480, was an analysis of the Roman capitals.
