Mid-17th century alphabet by JC Bierpfaff. No ordinary designs though - these Baroque letterforms are very organic, combining stylised botanical shapes with a sort of evolved grotesque style. In other words, these letters look like they're moving, filled with plants and monsters and reproducing on their own!

Inexpensive ($3.30), fine fountain pen for beginners. Has ink cartridge built in so that there's no dipping and comes recommended by Shawn Blanc.
