Synopsis

This practical guide introduces the core know-how behind traditional calligraphy through four classic alphabets: Foundational Hand, Italic Hand, Uncial Hand and a form of Gothic Hand. Alongside letterforms, it covers essential fundamentals such as choosing pens and papers, working with pen angles and nibs, understanding key terminology, and refining stroke direction and letter spacing to achieve classic letter design.

Originally produced by William Mitchell, designers and manufacturers of premium calligraphy products, it offers a clear starting point for readers beginning their lettering practice.
