Textualis Quadrata

Getting back into my practise of hands. Here is my Geometric Textualis Quadrata.
It is a simplified form of the scripts you find in the illuminated manuscripts and gives and exceptional grounding in tool accuracy and script structure for laying the foundation to move on to true manuscript textura.
It is also and excellent starting point for all of the textura family especially for both Textualis Quadrata and Textualis Semi Quadrata.
I used a low xheight and slow rhythmic writing. I am working flat here but I normally write this script on a board at 30 - 45 degrees.

    That is a great video, thank you very much for sharing it. Quick question, would those be the same capitals for the textualis semi-quadrata?

    Michel Paschalis the caps are interchangeable. There is so much majuscule variation in this family of scripts

    @@PAScribe Alright, that explains why I couldn't find it anywhere. So I assume the lower cases also have variations, right? From time to time I see a couple of different "a", "x" and "s" lower case in the textualis family. The issue here is the difficulty I have in figure out if they are the real historic hands or if they are made up in recent times for aesthetic purposes. Anyways, thank you for the clarification on the matter.

    This is great! I’ve been practicing your quadrata from the clip of the class you posted a while back. I’m curious to know your inspiration for the capitols as I’ve found many different examples and it almost seems that because of the numerous examples, as long as you have a distinguishable shape (C, G, O, Q, T, U follow a circle shape) there is some leniency in creativity. Additionally, they didn’t have some letters we use today so you have to make them up in a way they would have chose to do. Any thoughts?

    Aaron Murg hummm lots of thought provoking questions. My caps are based on ones from Gutenberg. That was 15 years ago. I know I altered them based on some other research but it was so long ago. I will need to track this down as it is a great question. TQ is easy to add letters as the construct is simple and augmentation to missing letters or even alternates to existing letters pose little problems as long as you understand the quadrant, lozenge downstroke. Additionally, adding lines to joining quadrants as in the Gothic Revival adds more variety to the possibilities of letters

    @@PAScribe I agree. The minuscules seem easy enough. But I was more talking about the capitals. I would imagine your advice would be the same regarding the capitals though. I will have to take another look at Gutenberg and get some more inspiration. Thank you for taking the time to reply!

    Good sir, their isnt much of a difference between this script and fracture except a few curves, enough practice in one gives you good standing in another variation of this family of scripts?,

    mark sullivan there is a huge difference. Fraktur is roughly based on Quadrata but it is an entirely different script with its own family and rules. They were also used in different countries. To say there isn’t much difference is like saying apples and oranges are fruits so not much different.
