Step away from the traditional and embrace the "bold." In this workshop, we use the versatile B-series (Ornamental) nib to create a compact, quirky alphabet that is full of personality. We will deconstruct the Roman capital into simplified, monoline letterforms that prioritize rhythm over rigid rules. By combining these funky shapes with a vibrant palette of colorful inks, you’ll learn how to create high-impact, modern lettering that pops off the page. This class is ideal for both beginners and longtime practitioners.
