Hello there
I'm designing a 3D letter, like Steingruber did with his alphabet.
But for the letter build, I would like to go in a calligraphed way.
I'm looking to identify both of the fonts used on these cards. One is a script, the other is Gothic. I realize that these might be hand calligraphy, but if anyone could point me to reasonable look-a-like fonts, I'd be thriled!
Thank you!!
Recreating graphics for the first time for a local pizza place that "can't remember" where they got their first logo. Can you guys help me out? I have no clue what this font is, the whole office is stumped.
Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know what this script font is? I've identified lots of similar fonts, but none that are a match. Any help would be extremely appreciated! :) Thanks so much!

Hi,
I am sure it will be a big challenge for you, as I didn't find anywhere which font is following:

Hi guys.
The font below is unfortunately the best version I've been able to get you guys...my client didn't have anything better.
I don't know what it might be. I've tried several and they don't match. It's part of a bigger corporate logo, so I don't want to be "close enough" either.
Thanks in advance,
Hello 2013, Bellissima Script is the first Sudtipos release of the year.

While in the same vein and spirit as Burgues and Compendium, Bellissima began from an entirely different thread as those fonts. It started with Alex Trochut generously showing me a gorgeous lettering book from his grandfather's library: Bellezas de la Caligrafía, by Ramón Stirling, 1844. Stirling was one of the Latin calligraphy pioneers who introduced a refined version of English calligraphy in Spain and made it popular in the nineteenth century.
Hello!
I am a Graphic Design student and I am making my 3rd attempt to write a thesis. By writing here, I consider myself desperate, because I cannot find a topic for my thesis. The only thing I clarified for myself is that I am interested in typography and calligraphy. And writing a thesis on these topics could help me to use what I've learned in my future projects.
Although I am reading everywhere in attempt to find something which would excite me, I am at a dead end.
So I am asking for your help.
I have in mind some questions, but I am wondering if they could evolve into a thesis argument:
1. Which are the limits of calligraphy?
2. What's the connection between typography/calligraphy and music?

Me & Martina Flor created this new project called www.letteringvscalligraphy.com
Is a battle between a letterer and a calligraphy.
Here there is a littlel press kit: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pj8ie3swhh3g2i7/PressKitLVSC.pdf
Hope you like it.
Have a nice day

This is treatment I did of 18th century Armenian calligraphic style. Its the first letter of Armenian Alphabet - AIB (alpha, alef).
Dear Admin, I would also propose to create a Armenian Letters sub-forum in Special Interest Groups. I am sure that there are quite many Armenian font designers who are here and would join. Hrant Papazian is at least one of them I know :)
These archaic signs are from Syunik province and Geghama Mountain range in Armenia. Some of them are over 5000 years old.

In one of my college lessons, its states that typography refers to mechanically-reproduced letters while calligraphy refers to hand-rendered letters. I wondered if this is technically correct, despite the general use of the word "typography" to refer to the study and use of letterforms?
Please help me in identifying the script font on this packaging. Thank you!!
Please help me find out what both of these fonts are! I've searched thousands of fonts and cannot find them. Thank you!

I created this thread (re-directed from Tombstone typography in an effort to keep it focused) for people to discuss their different views on the relationships between calligraphy and type design.
A new typeface in progress, I'd appreciate your feedback! :)

Hi all!
Need help identifying the font below. It is from anywhere between the 1950s to the mid 70s. Any help would be appreciated in finding out what it is. I have looked EVERYWHERE.
Thanks!!

Alright, so I already know that this is actual calligraphy and I know who wrote all of it. However, I'd like to see if there is a font very similar to this because the project I'm working on would be much easier if I had a font rather than to handwrite everything. I know I'll lose some of the extra flair, but maybe I could mix some handwriting with some font. I just really need a good starting font that is as similar to this as possible.

Thanks in advance for any help in the right direction.
Hi,
I came accross backslanted text in a few plates from Jan van den Velde's Spieghel der Schrijfkonste and came to wonder what it stood for.
In the examples I found the text seems to be introducing something else but I can be wrong.
Any help, references or other examples would be much appreciated!


We need to identify a typestyle for some boat lettering. The example attached is only as an aid to track down the font.
I've tried What The Font, and so far, no results. It seemingly cannot place the "L".
Of course, any help would be most appreciated.
Any ideas on what the "One Heart" font might be? Thanks in advance!
