Writing, it dates and adapts!
Uncial, cursive, Merovingian… Our alphabet has been transmitted between men for millennia and its writing has been undulating for centuries. Try the calame to draw your name as if you were a knight.
Use a pen to suggest a translation of outdated phrases into 21st century words: "Oyez" is "Wesh"; "Que nenni" becomes "C'est mort" and to say "Ma gente dame", we use "Ma gow".
