Bronzite feels very similar to hematite (an iron ore) in one's hand, dense, heavy \u0026amp; cool to the touch. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnglish-Italian Hand utilized a single-story minuscule \"z\" which I wanted to use rather than the descender form, (this one) so common in scripts, but the descended form penetrated the simple flattened oval flourish I visualized in my original concept. These forms of \"r\" \u0026amp; \"t\" were rarely used in this hand. Sometimes a simple ball-lobe would terminate a beginning hairline as well as an ending one. These lobes on the small letters were done in a light weight similar to that of the lettering while such lobes on the caps were often done overly bold. Versions of this form of \"t\" went on to be adapted and used in some American engrossers' scripts a century later. The \"B\" is my own design following the principles of English-Italian Hand.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e~2011, Don Marsh~\u003cbr\u003e©2011 Don Marsh\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Don Marsh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42417869848670,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/7828\/2846\/files\/Bronzite__2011_Don_Marsh_b63fb662-4593-4c04-90a5-a6ff49486e23.jpg?v=1769216443","url":"https:\/\/donmarsharchive.com\/products\/bronzite-english-italian-hand","provider":"Don Marsh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
