Form, font, usage. Any input appreciated. I vaguely remember another version of the poem I viewed somewhere, obviously handwritten calligraphy then photographed and reproduced for posters, wall size. However I think it was a much longer piece, perhaps the entire original poem. I was curious if anyone else had seen these posters, had information on them and the origin/artist published work where it might be found etc. I know. Alot. Sigh. Memory is not what it once was.
+Patrick Gifford there is no font involved; it's all handwritten. The mishmash alphabet of medieval uncial and pseudo-tengwar looking characters with which Aragorn's various names are written is probably the artist's own invention, at least I have not seen anything like that before; anyway, for all its fanciness it's still just the plain old Latin alphabet!
