From Romans to the Dark Ages

My Roman Majuscule class is over; the next one in the series is Uncial starting in April.

The story of Western writing is the history of empires that came and went, of striving for perfection and going beyond it to precious and eventual decay.

I don’t know what future paleographers will make of the American empire through its writing (or lack of it). At any rate, I’ve been playing with 4th-century letterforms, some of which have made their way into the new Feathers of Hope masthead. I think we should change this more often than every two years. Walnut ink remains plentiful in the fridge.
