▓ ░ ▓▓▓ ▓▓▓ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ Burgues Script is an ode to the late 19th century American ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ calligrapher Louis Madarasz, whose legendary pen has ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ inspired schools of penmanship for over 100 years. His ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ talent has caused some people to call him 'the most ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ skillful penman the world has ever known.' ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ I use the word 'ode' in a colloquially ambitious manner. If ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ I was an actual poet, my words would be about things I ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ desire but cannot attain, objects of utter beauty that make ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ me wallow in humility, or people of enormous talent who ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ look down at me from the clouds of genius. ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ But I don't write poems. My work consists of letters drawn ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ to fit together, that become an element of someone's visual ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ poetry. I am the poet's assistant, so to speak. Once in a ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ while, the assistant persists on what the subject of the ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ poem will be. And occasionally, the poet gives in to the ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ persistence. I hope you, visual poet, find my persistence ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ justified in this case. ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ The two main sources for Burgues were the calligraphy ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ examples shown in Zaner Bloser's The Secret of the Skill of ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ Madarasz: His Philosophy and Penmanship Masterpieces, and ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ C. W. Jones's Lessons in Advanced Engraver's Script ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ Penmanship by L. Madarasz. ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ These two references were the cornerstone for the concept I ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ was trying to work with. I did have to change many of the ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ letters in order to be able to produce digital calligraphy ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ that can flow flexibly and offered the user a variety of ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ options, while maintaining its attractive appearance. To ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ this end, many ligatures and swashes were made, as well as ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ full flourished sets of letters for use at the beginnings ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ or endings of words and sentences. All of this has been ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ tied together with OpenType and tested thoroughly within ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ today's standard design and desktop publishing software. ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ After working with digital scripts for so long, at one ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ point I thought that Burgues Script would become a bit of a ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ chore to complete. I also thought that, like with most ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ other scripts, the process would regularize itself after a ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ while and be reduced to a mechanical habit. Surprisingly, ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ and fortunately for me, this did not happen. The past holds ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ as many surprises as the future. Madarasz's method of ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ penmanship was fascinating and challenging to translate ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ into the strict, mathematically oriented language of the ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ computer. It seems that the extremely high contrast of the ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ forms, coupled with the required flow and connectivity of ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ such lettering, will always be hard work for any visual ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ artist to produce, even with the aide of a powerful ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ machine. I can only imagine what steady nerves and ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ discipline Madarasz must have had to be able to produce ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ fully flourished and sublimely connected words and ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ sentences on a whim. One must wonder what kind of ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ breathtaking art he would have been able to come up with if ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ he lived today, with the computer mouse being an additional ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ accessory in his calligrapher's toolkit. ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ When I think of Madarasz producing a flourished ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ calligraphic logotype in a few seconds, and try to ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ reconcile that with the timelines of my or my colleagues' ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ work in identity and packaging design, the mind reels. Such ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ blinding talent from over a hundred years ago. ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ In case you are wondering, Burgues is the Spanish word for ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ Bourgeois. ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ In the end, I hope Burgues Script will serve you well when ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ a flourished word or sentence is required for a design ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ project. One of the wonders of the computer age is the ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ ability to visually conjure up the past, serving both the ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ present and the future. With Burgues, you have a piece of ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ 'the most skillful penman the world has ever known' at your ███ ░ ▓
▓ ░ ███ service. ███ ░ ▓
