• TOPIC: Enchangting Light Italic

Formal Italic hand has so many possibilities that require much practice and research of art and letter design. Pricipal rules, such as 45 degree pen angle, 5 pen width x-height, 5 degree slant, may limit us to create enjoyable and elegant letterfoms. In this workshop we will focus on the elegant use of small nibs to write beautiful light Italic forms, then blur the border of broad edge and pointed pen calligraphy by bringing beautiful touch-up of Roundhand into Italic.
