Sketchbook, February 2013 | Seb Lester Calligraphy

BlackLetter was used throughout Europe from about 1150 until the end of the 17th century. One of my current preoccupations is developing a set of modern BlackLetter capitals that are highly legible, in BlackLetter terms, and yet retain the richness and beauty inherent in this ancient category of letterform. From time to time I will film clips like this to record my progress. Prints and originals available from seblester.co.uk. Music by Carlos Márquez, soundcloud.com/cmdigital. This is a Pilot Parallel Pen, the 6mm size.

I was looking for a Style to start with Calligraphy back again after 15 years. I believe your style has inspired me again. Is there a website or a reference where i can reference your "Modern Black Letters" I would love to start with them first. FYI I was a type setter / designer when i was doing calligraphy 15 years back. Please share
