National Treasure Silence Dogood Letters Font Help + Charlotte Note

[MurdocXXL]

Small update from my side, about the SD letters.

I used a screenshot, i found at RPF user "Mr. THX" webside, as reference to create the following, scanned page:



This is the refence for it.

My version is traced by hand from the reference pic. It is, in the actual
version, a mix of tracing, drawing and writting. I hope to make the handwritting-style my own, to make the SD letters (maybe not all of them) completely free written. I used a caligraphy fountain pen, with simple black ink.

Hope you like it!

Looks very good Murdoc, you have the "skill with the quill" for sure.

Awesome. Now if you could just do that for all 14 letters on white paper and scan and post those that would be swell.

Awesome work as always!!!!!!!!!

Murdoc, you are GREAT!!!

Thanks guys, realy happy that you like it

@jameth: lets see what i can do :unsure (if i only had some more time...grrrr)
For sure i will not do all 14 letters.... oh well, it is depending on the time frame you expect to get them ehehe, maybe during the next years......

Personaly i would be happy to have 3-4 nice letters, which are related to what we see on screen. So that is the main goal for myself.

Sorry, I was kidding. Your work is amazing and you have shared plenty over the years. I really meant that as a joke.

That gives me an idea though. Looking at your hand written example we could find the best font. Copy and paste all the letters and switch them to that font and post them for people to print off on their own aged paper. That was my original idea. Then in addition to aging, sanding, etc. people could go over a little here and there with a quill type pen to make it look handwritten???????

I think to handwrite it, a Steno qulii or a "Pfannenfeder" are the best ones, to get the letters like the original Use a burnt-umbra ink

@jameth....naaaa, no worries Your wellcome with any suggestions. Time will show what happens The problem with the font is realy to get i look like a reak handwritting. The previously mentioned "vletter" webside features a cool tool, but it is only workable with their own fonts But that exactly what i am searching for...

Thanks for your tip vossart. Already tested some nips for dip pens, but still waiting for other "tools" to complete my test Did you tried those letters yourself ? Anything to show up for us?

 

[vossart]

nope, i did not try to copy those letters..

I know that there have been several runs of the Book of Secrets, and one or two of the Booth diary.

Has anyone done Wilkinson's page from the diary? Surrat Copiae, Thomas Gates Artifex, etc.?

 

[MurdocXXL]

Hi NR16020..search theRPF for "burned Booth page" or "Booth page" only For example Post. # 38 in here http://www.therpf.com/f40/national-treasure-book-secrets-inserts-77914/index2.html
