Memento

Worth knowing. A good middle ground when Old English is too heavy for the space you have.

Where gothic display lettering works

Lettering needs length rather than width, so it suits a forearm running lengthways, a ribcage, a back or a chest piece. Short words work on a wrist or neck. Check how much each spot hurts on the pain chart, and see finished work on the lettering style page.
