ABOUT COURTESY
--------------------------------------------
As in Victorian times, the precious, hand-lettered look of custom stationery is back in vogue. Enter Courtesy Script, my newest ornamental script typeface.
Courtesy captures the elegance and propriety of finely practiced Spencerian penmanship, in particular the Zanerian school. Its lowercase is notably understated, a simple monoline with very wide connections that ease readability. In the capitals, Courtesy adds variety in both the weight of the strokes, and in degrees of flourish — from merely fancy to over-the-top engrossery.
Based on an alphabet found in a 19th-century penmanship journal, Ale created hundreds of additional, stylistically complementary letterforms. Alternate capitals and lowercase letters, swashed lowercase forms, and ending and ornamental swashes; numerals, punctuation, and non-English and accented characters.
With virtually endless ways to customize its use, Courtesy helps designers create fluid, signature looks on stationery and invitations, book covers, fashion layouts, and packaging.

A three-car DMU of MŽ (Makedonski Železnici - Macedonian Railways, or Македонски Железници in Cyrillic script) stands at Bitola, waiting to depart as train 644 to Skopje at 18.53; it had arrived as train 643, 14.30 from Skopje. The DMU is formed of cars 712-102 (nearest the camera, on the rear of the train), 716-101 and 712-101.
These DMUs were built for JŽ (Jugoslav Railways) from 1975 onwards by Đjuro Đjakovic in Slavonski Brod (in what is now Croatia) under licence from the Spanish company Macosa. They still carry JŽ livery. At the time of this visit, MŽ's DMU fleet was in a very poor state (at least one car of this unit had holes in the floor!) but new Chinese-built DMUs (and EMUs) were on order. These DMUs have since all been withdrawn, and, over a decade on, many of the new DMUs are out of service, with many passenger services cut.
The train is actually operated by Makedonski Železnici Transport (MŽT), MŽ having been split into separate infrastructure and train operating companies in 2007, although in 2019 MŽT was renamed Železnici na Republika Severna Makedonija Transport (ŽRSMT) to reflect the official renaming of the country
This photo was taken on the fourth day of a six-day trip to the former Jugoslavia. On the first day, we'd flown from Stansted to Ljubljana (Slovenia) and then travelled by train to Zagreb (Croatia). That evening and the following morning were spent doing some passenger train diversions around the capital (due to resignalling work around the main station), and then we travelled on to Beograd (Belgrade, Serbia). The following day was spent on just one train, the daily daytime service to Skopje (in what is now North Macedonia, but then was known as the Former Jugoslav Republic of Macedonia), where we stayed for two nights.
Having spent the morning as tourists, we then took the afternoon train to Bitola (as seen here), and the following morning went to Kičevo and back (loco hauled - see this picture) and then attempted to travel into Kosovo by train. However, a lorry had failed to take a bend on the main road and had overturned onto the railway, blocking the line; the train was cancelled just minutes before departure (we were already on board), but we were able to take a coach from the adjacent bus station. We crossed the border in time to catch the Kosovan portion of what was advertised as a through train (although in reality required a change at the Kosovan border station, Hani i Elezit), and made it to Fushë Kosovë, where we stayed the night. The final day saw us catch the train the short distance to the capital, Prishtinë (Pristina) - see this photo - and then take the train to Pejë (Peja), returning by bus (we didn't trust the train to run on time!) for our flight home via Geneva.
I took this simply as a record shot as it was close enough to sunset that the whole scene was in shadow. It wasn't completely sharp and was quite noisy, but I've had a go at reducing the noise over many parts of the image. The line to Skopje curves off to the right at the far end of the station, while the tracks in the foreground, going off to the left, are the goods yard - passengers have to cross these tracks to get from the station entrance to the platform. The line continued (off to the right of the picture) to Kremenica and over the border into Greece, but that was all out of use at the time - although there were plans to reopen it to provide a second route into Greece.
Unfortunately, I didn't take very many photos on this trip, mainly because the opportunities were limited (being early March, it was dark when we reached our destinations), but the best have already been uploaded to this album. Having recently been encouraged to upload photos of my trip to Bosnia the following year, I thought I'd see if there were any from this trip which might be suitable for additional processing in Photoshop and potentially be uploaded, but found very few.

ABOUT AUBERGE SCRIPT
It took me a long time, but I think I now understand why people of my generation and older feel the need to frame current events in an historical context or precedents, while most of the young couldn't care less about what happened ten years ago, let alone centuries back. After living for a few decades, you get to a point when time seems to be moving quite fast, and it’s humbling to see that your entire existence so far can be summed up in a paragraph or two which may or may not be useful to whoever ends up reading the stuff anyhow. I suppose one way to cope with the serenity of aging is trying to convince yourself that your life and work are really an extension of millenia of a species striving to accept, adapt to, and improve the human condition through advancing the many facets of civilization -- basically making things more understandable and comfortable for ourselves and each other while we go about doing whatever it is we are trying to do. And when you do finally convince yourself of that, history becomes a source of much solace and even a little premonition, so you end up spending more time there.
Going far back into the history of what I do, one can easily see that for the most part it was ruled by the quill. Western civilization’s writing was done with quill pens for more than thirteen centuries and with newer instruments for about two. By the mid-18th century, the height of the quill experience, various calligraphy techniques could be discerned and writing styles were arranged in distinct categories. There are many old books that showcase the history of it all. I recommend looking at some whenever the urge comes calling and you have to get away from backlit worlds.
Multiple sources usually help me get a better perspective on the range of a specific script genre, so many books served as reference to this quill font of mine. Late 17th century French and Spanish professional calligraphy guides were great aides in understanding the ornamental scope of what the scribes were doing back then. The French books, with their showings of the Ronde, Bâtarde and Coulée alphabets, were the ones I referenced the most. So I decided to name the font Auberge, a French word for hotel or inn, because I really felt like a guest in different French locales (and times) when I going through all that stuff.
Because it is multi-sourced, Auberge does not strictly fit in a distinct quill pen category. Instead, it shows strong hints of both Bâtarde and Coulée alphabets. And like most of my fonts, it is an exercise in going overboard with alternates, swashes, and ornamental devices. Having worked with it for a while, I find it most suitable for display calligraphic setting in general, but it works especially well for things like wine labels and event invitations. It also shines in the original quill pen application purpose, which of course was stationery. Also, as it just occurred to me, if you find yourself in a situation where you have to describe your entire life in 50 words or less, you may as well make it look good and swashy, so Auberge would probably be a good fit there as well.
This is one quill script that no large bird had to die for.
A few technical notes
The Auberge Script Pro version includes 1800 glyphs, everything is included there. Also latin language support. We recommend you to use the latest design application to have full access to alternates, swashes, small caps, ornaments, etc. The images from the gallery uses this version. For better results use the fonts with “liga” feature on.

During 2014 the early develop of Auberge Script was chosen to be part of Tipos Latinos, the most important type exhibition in South America.

Lesson in monastery school. One of the most important subjects is learning to read tibetan script - as all religious texts are written in this language, which is unfamiliar to Monpas of Tawang.
I remember, some of my Flickr friends getting surprised, when they realized in Armenia we use a different script, than English or Russian :) Even though, in Armenia almost everyone speaks Russian, because of our Soviet past. So I thought, to introduce you to Armenian letters with this photo. This is a part of a door-frame of a 10-th century Armenian monastery called Tsakhats Kar. Grapes and other native fruits are typical ornaments for Armenian architecture, so you'll see a lot of them on ancient and modern churches. The writing on this piece is in old Armenian, so it would take me lot of effort to understand the words, but I assume, since it was curved all around the entrance door, it tells about the person(s) who built this monastery.
The Armenian language is an Indo-European language spoken by the Armenian people. Armenian has a long literary history, with a fifth-century Bible translation as its oldest surviving text.
Consisting of 38 letters, the Armenian alphabet is an alphabet that has been used to write the Armenian language since the year 405 or 406. It was reintroduced by Saint Mesrop Mashtots (361 or 362 – February 17, 440), an Armenian monk, theologian and linguist, and originally contained 36 letters.Two more letters, օ (o) and ֆ (f), were added in the Middle Ages. Armenian literature with pre-Mashtotsian letters was burned during the introduction of Christianity. Until the 19th century, Classical Armenian was the literary language; since then, the Armenian alphabet has been used to write the two official literary dialects of Eastern Armenian and Western Armenian.
Now you know what language I speak :)
Thanks for your visit and have a great day!
Brahmi script, previously written on leaves when paper wasn't available.
This is the ancient Khmer script practiced by monks today and can be heard every morning when the monks do arms.
I believe it stems form the Hindu language, which falls in line with Cambodia's history, previously being a Hindu state. It also forms the foundation for the Thai script.
I've been told there are no letters only sounds, the khmer alphabet is used to represent these sounds. Thats what the monk told me, I cant trad the Khmer alphabet with its 20 odd vowels, let alone script..
More on Cambodia here-

About the typeface

There is plenty of lyric and literature about looking over one’s shoulder in contemplation. What would you have done differently if you knew then what you know now? This is the kind of question that comes out of nowhere. When it does and whether its context is personal or professional make very little difference. It’s a question that can cause emotions to rise and passions to run hot. It can trigger priority shifts and identity crises. It’s never easy to answer.
Three years ago, I published a font called Semilla. My aim with that was to distill the work of Bentele, a lettering artist from early 1950s Germany. Picking such an obscure figure back then was my way of pondering the meaning and efficiency of objectivity in a world where real human events and existences are inevitably filtered through decades of unavoidably subjective written, printed and oral history. And maybe to pat myself on the back for surviving surprises mild and pleasant.
Having been fortunate enough to follow my professional whims for quite some time now, I took another, longer look at my idea of distilling Bentele’s work again. I suppose the concepts of established history and objectivity can become quite malleable when personal experience is added to the mix. I say that because there I was, three years later, second-guessing myself and opining that Bentele’s work can be distilled differently, in a manner more suited to current cultural angles. So I embarked on that mission, and Bowling Script is the result. I realize that it’s difficult to reconcile this soft and happy calligraphic outcome with the introspection I've blathered about so far, but it is what is. I guess even self-created first world problems need to be resolved somehow, and the resolution can happen in mysterious ways.
Bowling Script is what people who like my work would expect from me. It’s yet another script loaded with all kinds of alternation, swashing and over-the-top stuff. All of that is in here. These days I think I just do all that stuff without even blinking. But there are two additional twists.
The more noticeable one is ornamental: The stroke endings in the main font are of the typical sharp and curly variety found in sign painting, while the other font complements that with ball endings, sometimes with an added-on-afterwards impression rather than an extension of the actual stroke. In the philosophical terms I was mumbling earlier, this is the equivalent of alternate realities in a world of historical reduxes that by their very nature can never properly translate original fact.
The second twist has to do with the disruption of angular rhythm in calligraphic alphabets. Of course, this is the kind of lettering where the very concept of rhythm can be quite flexible, but it still counts for something, and experimenting with angular white space in a project of a very dense footprint was irresistible. After playing for a bit, I decided that it would interesting to include the option of using optically back-slanted forms in the fonts. Most scripts out there, including mine, have a rhythm sonically comparable to four-to-the-floor club beats. So the weirdly angled stuff here is your chance to do the occasional drumroll. Everyone knows we need one of those sometimes.
Bowling Script and Bowling Script Balls fonts comes with 1600 characters and features extended Latin-based language support. There are also a basic version of both fonts without all the alternates and extra OpenType features. Bowling family ships in cross-platform OpenType format.

“Reporter zwischen Spree und Panke”
(Reporter between Spree and Panke rivers)
By Klaus Bechler. Published by Das Neue Berlin, 1953.
Klaus Beuchler (1926–92) was a German journalist and writer. He lived most of his life in East Berlin. This was his first of over 30 books, many about Berlin.
I can’t find much about Herbert Prüget, just that he did many covers for Das Neue Berlin and illustrated a few children’s books, usually credited as “H. Prüget”.
But here’s a cool fact: he was also a graphic designer and is credited here with the 1957 logo for Sachsenring, East German manufacturer of the Trabant.
