Handmade Lettering 17

Some blackletter style this week plus some other styles thrown to the mix. This is made either just before or just after New Year as the text may reveal. The "H" in Neue Jahr would probably look better with a thinner right column but that's the way it is now. Sprint still refers to the project managing thing. This is made with ball-point, felt-tip and silver gel pens. Original size is about 11,5 x 6 cm.

Well, I seem to have missed the Wednesday deadline because of tehcnical problems. Blame goes to my non-working connection at home and not myself for updating earlier when it was still working. Anyway, today's scan is again from a Monday meeting, the actual date is surprisingly included. Sprinting does not refer to the form of movement but to a project planning system used at work. So maybe I'm repeating myself there. The handmade block type looks nice in longer texts than in just one line. Legibility might not be so great but that's how it goes sometimes. Original size about 9 x 4,5 cm. Made with felt-tip, ball-point and gel pens.

Picture of the week is from... well, some meeting. Clearly from a very important one! Looks like the meeting was long enough for me to spend a bit of time with details. Although the darkest line looks a bit like an old school telephone cord it doesn't necessarily mean the meeting was a conference call. "Meeting" has a similar style to the first lettering post of this blog, though with less overlapping parts. Made with the usual set of ball-point-, gel and felt-tip pens.  Original size about 12 x 7 cm.

New year and new posts. This one is from autumn, I think, and has something to do with organizational changes within the company I work for. More scripty feel here than in some of the previous ones. I made a slight mistake with the year there but in the name of honesty decided to not photoshop it out. Made with ball-point pens only. Original size is about 10 x 7 cm.
