This piece is actually a test of combining my gothic textura tall and narrow typeface with my new Canterbury Uncial typeface. I think they look pretty cool together. They compliment each other quite well. Differences in size, spacing and texture also work well. The long decender on the uncial Rs play well together and magically worked out that way. The uncial letters are evenly spaced a bit wider than normal to give it a more formal look. The diamonds are used to fill the empty space in the M, O, P, and T characters. Layout design, spacing and balance are so critical in calligraphy yet unfortunately often overlooked. All of this is was done by eye with help of a few guide lines.
This is an example where old-school authentic hand done calligraphy can be applied to modern movies, music, video games and other products. I like the overall look of this piece. I liked the first Resident Evil film. Never played any of the video games but imagine they look great too. This would look amazing on the back of a T-shirt, or side of a wall. Cheers Steve
