Learn to write Engrossers’ Text like a pro!
Engrossing hands, or engrosser’s texts, are uniquely American hands, derived from the influences of French and German roundhands. These hands are the workhorses of the certificate and diploma industry. They incorporate slants, curves, and angles which give them an ornamental feel while remaining relatively quick to write. Students will gain a solid foundation through the exploration of several historical models and accompanying assignments.
