Lettering with an 83 year old Mabie Todd Swan



I have not been able to post any new lettering samples lately due to long hours of commercial projects. I still finish the day with some quick handwriting samples while trying a variety of vintage fountain pens. This lettering piece was created with a Mabie Todd Swan pen manufactured in 1927. It has a flexible nib and writes with a featherweight touch. Its an amazing 83 year old pen. Very enjoyable to create lettering with vintage writing instruments.
