## Prompt (replace [TEXT] with your text)

```text
Write [TEXT] in a slanted copperplate script with a pointed dip pen on cream laid paper ruled with faint pencil baselines and slant lines at about 55 degrees. A brass nib in a dark wooden holder traces each letter in one continuous joined stroke: it slows down and swells into heavy shaded downstrokes, then speeds up on whisper-thin hairline upstrokes. The fresh ink is glossy blue-black with a wet sheen behind the nib that dries to matte, with small pools of ink at the base of shades and at stroke ends. Open with an entry flourish, finish with a long swash that loops back under the word, then dot and cross. Elegant, slow and deliberate; fade and loop.
```

## Visual DNA

- Strong thick-and-thin contrast driven by pen pressure on downstrokes
- Glossy wet ink trail behind the nib that dries to matte
- Ink pooling at the bottom of shades and at stroke ends
- Entry and exit flourishes sweeping under the word
- Cream laid paper with faint pencil slant guidelines
