Recently I did some lettering because I was a bit challenged by a good friend.
I asked Daniél what type of lettering it was he used with the Art Noveau Lady and Ari (the friend) was yelling "well Willem I am curious about the result you putting down, said the "hero" who never show's something" (his own words!!)

So I answered him with this Limmerick, in general it's saying:

A Gentlemen called Ari
A modest and no nonsense Guy
Came up with the idea
To show what you can do
For himself he reckoned this as bull****

Nice lettering Willem, I think it is some German letter type, My father also writes the Z like that. Not that he is German, but by the time he learned writing this was common.

The name of the script is "Edwardian" Arnaud, I don't know where it comes from but its a real nice script to engrave.
You can put it in Words and engrave every line you want.

Thank you Willem, I have the Font, I like the Z in particular.
Only the L could look better in my opinion, not your engraving, just the lettertype.

And looking again at your lettering, there are some that need "back cutting" like the t in dit

or is it the light?
