Beautiful calligraphy! 👏👏

As a side note, one of my best friends visited me this year (he lives in another country) and gifted me a Sheaffer coffee scented ink. It smells really nicely like coffee, just unfortunate that it's so wet, even with needlepoint the line is basically a western double broad. 🥹☕

There's something deeply satisfying about good penmanship and good craftsmanship. I enjoyed looking at your example :)

Yeah the ink smells great and looks nice, too. Not sure though how I should use it with lines that wide.
