Engrosser's Script (online course 26 MAR-28 JUL | dip pen)
Known for it's drastic shades and drawn structure, Engrosser's Script is a show-stopping traditional Copperplate hand. It is a historical calligraphy style that was widely popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s in the United States of America. It is written with a pointed steel nib with slow, precise motion. The key characteristics of Engrosser's Script is that each letter is made of a range of principle strokes, it requires the calligrapher to lift the nib from the paper in between strokes.
Here are the benefits from learning Engrosser's Script:- Build a solid letterform to enhance your current (modern) calligraphy;
- Develop a writing rhythm and consistent letter spacing through frequent pen lifts;
- Create clean shades for the downstrokes and sharp hairlines for the upstrokes;
- Produce quality work via writing mindfully and save plenty of time from aimless practicing.
