Words are confusing, especially when it comes to those “mushy” terms where no one is really sure what they actually mean. You guys know I am crazy about research, you know I love to write, I also am a gigantic word-fanatic so this is a subject I have been spending a lot of time with. I get the question whenever I make a comment about the fact that I am bad at Hand Lettering and prefer Calligraphy.

A post about the relaunch of halfapx, the changes in design, content and the shop.

I was fourteen when I met the love of my life. Words and I had known each other forever. But we only had realized that we were a match two years prior, when I first realized that bending and blending and sorting and jumbling and putting together and tearing apart were things I really liked to do to words and sentences.

I know as a beginner, especially when you're not really sure if Calligraphy is really your thing any kind of investment is worth one or two thoughts. You don't want to spend a ton of money, unless you're sure. So what route should you go? Get everything cheap? Get everything good, so you really know it's not the tools that are bad? Here's a - slightly opinionated - post where saving is fine and when splurging might make a really big difference.
