Can I get my own word or name lettered?

Yes — the direction field takes any word or name, and the sheet is redrawn spelling it exactly in the same gothic hand.

What size do these print at?

Each sheet is drawn portrait at 832×1216, so it prints clean on standard paper or scales down for a tattoo reference.

Are these tattoo-ready?

They are design references, not stencils — a tattoo artist redraws the linework at the placement size before transferring it.

Blackletter lettering: a single word, a surname and a practice sheet

Blackletter lettering — the single word "STRENGTH" lettered large across the sheet, diamond terminals on every stem and one hairline flourish trailing from the final letter, a strict textura quadrata hand, tall narrow letters built from broken vertical strokes with diamond feet, one uniform pen width and no curves

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
