christy 14/60


oh my, such a beautiful stamp. not pure neuland, but, some block printing that is an extension of what you think about when you are doing neuland.

that S breaks the rule with the skinny midsection, but by linking it to the T, it makes what the type-designers call a ligature...two letters that work together. so, this is a wacky combo, but, you are allowed to do things like that after you learn what it is called and look at enough of them to know when they are useful.

and i must have been giving christy's mom the envelopes with no address, because that is her penmanship on the address.
