Creative Calligraphy 3 English Italics

We can't guarantee that Queen Elizabeth II will ask you to write Christmas cards for her family, but with Creative Calligraphy 3 you will master the art of the most elegant writing. Creative Calligraphy 3, the handbook for lovers of English calligraphy, comes to break the mould and declare war on minimalism with a precious and very ornate handwriting.

This book, full of fun winks, has as its protagonist lacopperplate, a refined and classic typeface that began to take shape in 17th century England in impressive calligraphic manuals that included beasts and fantastic beings to make them even more imposing. Now that we have Helvetica, which is much more common, but much less stylish.

So, to practise this type of calligraphy, all you need is a flexible nib and black ink or, for the less daring, aflexible penwith an extra-fine tip, and this manual, which aims to introduce adults to the art of ornate handwriting. Within its pages are a variety of stroke exercises ranging from the basics to writing complex words and phrases, so you can take the most elegant notes in your class or ask your boss for a raise without being denied. That, or decorate a wall in your house with the most beautiful words.

And because it's you, we'll let you in on a secret: if you learn to master the lacopperplate ductus, you'll be able to improve all your handwriting! But... But how can I improve it if I don't even know what it is? Well, the ductus is the characteristics and qualities of handwriting, which, thanks to the exercises in this book, you will be able to internalise and apply every time you write by hand.
