Over this past year I've learned a lot about calligraphy, & my favorite thing I learned was the Patron Demon of Scribes, Titivillus. I loved his myth so much that I made a tapestry blanket as an ode to him. PRE ORDERS START TODAY

@AbelianSurface9@Esqueer_ Despite thousands of years of use, & a plethora of different use cases, Blackletter still faces it association
with Nazism. A style of type co-opted & continuously used by the alt-right. However, its the bad-boy font, the newspaper font, graffiti, & headstones font.
@AbelianSurface9@Esqueer_ Its ok, there are plenty of non-fascist uses of blackletter. You just need to know where to look, any newspaper masthead, the first printed bible, White Sox logo, beer brands, memorial t-shirts, ACDC, Black Sabbath, Disneyland, most diplomas, Snoop Dogg albums etc.
This is a shot in the dark asking for help from twitter for the weirdest thing. I just got a Noodler's Ahab Flex Nib Fountain Pen, this thing smells HORRIBLE. I have completely taken it apart and have washed it MULTIPLE times and this oily texture and smell just comes back. HELP!
