Formal Uncials

Another half an hour to myself whilst the little one is napping, so I picked up my pilot pens and had a go at formal uncials. This was done with a 2.4mm nib, purple ink and a 4 nib-width x-height.

I used for my reference a section from Gillian Hazeldine's brilliant book Contemporary Calligraphy: how to use formal scripts today.

This is not a script I am at all used to working with, but there's so much you can do with it, with a little bit of creativity.
