I like the combination of the minty green with the red. It's fun that people think of me when they see stamp and envelope motifs. Somewhere, way back, there are some valentines I made that are green and black. I wonder if I can find them.
This style of postmark would be my choice to go with the Keith Haring stamp. Is 2025 the year that I finally get around to creating my own postmark? I'll need to find out if they even offer it anymore.

My other favorite style of writing is any of the European styles that are upright, with no slant - also very round and compact. They all have some capital letters that would need to be tweaked - but I love the overall look. This one is a variation of French Roundhand.
The one below is German - specifically Sutterlein - which I love.
I couldn't find any examples written in English.
The geometric ziggy-zaggy-ness of it appeals to me.
One last comment on penmanship tomorrow.
***Ironically - an example of French Roundhand popped up in my emails - with a free Zoom event. Scroll down for details.
