In this practical book, John Stevens shares his brush knowledge and provides exercises developed and refined over many years of teaching his brush-lettering workshops. The progressive instruction leads to classic Trajan Capitals written with a broad brush—and beyond. You learn about the flat brush and how it contrasts with the pen. You learn how to prepare, hold, and load your brush. And as you make your first strokes, you learn brush dynamics: how the brush moves and how to change angles and make curves and other turns. 

John then starts you with a bold, angular sans-serif alphabet, “Neulandish.” Through its basic strokes and joins, you gain brush skills and explore texture and rhythm. Next, with Block Letter, a rounded capital form also without serifs, you build your brush technique. And then you move to extensive instruction for the majestic Trajan letterforms, spanning 52 pages and including John’s full-page, actual-size exemplars—with each letter written in multiple colors to clearly show its individual strokes. Additional chapters take your letters into words and then into projects. Throughout, John shows examples of practice exercises and presents a gallery of his incredible, inspirational works.
