After I noticed that the joining strokes between the verticals to form an N or M were placed so that they ran just over the top of the diamond of the second vertical (as I was talking about in my last post on the Gods with Snow quote) I also noticed that the diamonds at the foot of each vertical was also extended. And, of course, there are 'ticks' on each diamond, top and bottom.
Talk about doing a script analysis backwards!
I haven't incorporated the larger diamond feet or the ticks into my work on the quote.
I've reached a stage where I'm happy. The point of me practising this quote was to
- get my verticals straight
- get my verticals evenly spaced (with the width of one vertical between each one)
- get my diamonds crisp
- get my diamonds 'hanging' from the x-height line, and 'floating' from the baseline.
Of course, the scan isn't straight. My scans are never straight.
Here 'tis.
