hend it?

I've never liked that b.
The alternative script form of b, which keeps going in a counter-clockwise rotation at the bottom of the main stroke, and then connects to the next letter from a little ball at one o'clock, is far less ambiguous, and has a great deal of historical precedent -- though perhaps not totally authentic vis-à-vis Mr Bickham.

More Beckhamology, this time Beccam:

Wonderful! (Too bad it's only available in medium and large.)

Thanks,

Say, is it okay if I borrow that image for a blog post about the T-shirt?

Cheers,

T

Of course you can use the image.

Also, Chris may still have a few in other sizes, if you let me know what you're looking for I can ask him.

Why wasn't the word Bickham also set in Bickham?

Dear Cleric,

Brilliant! Cheers! Is the word "Bickham" set in the lovely roman which I remember seeing in Bickham's classic book of engravings once? I believe it's called 'Universal Penmanship' and it's well worth a trip to the library. Is the international shipping quite expensive?

Nick, I'm sorry but I've no idea what you're going on about. What's going to happen at 1:00?

I assumed that "Bickham" wasn't set in Bickham because the designer wanted to use all caps.

Personally, I would love an XXL if possible, or failing that an XL. A plain ol' large doesn't do me much good. Heck, I'd pay extra for an XXL.

Cheers,

T

Thomas, they might charge by the yard for us :-)
