Happy Friday!

This week, I calligraphed the unofficial USPS motto, using a modern calligraphy style and beautiful gray ink. Watch to the end where I talk about my pen holder, the Tachikawa T-25, and why I love it so much!

“Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.”

TOOLS USED:

Brause EF66 Nib
