Blackletter, in its Renaissance forms, may be one of the scripts that lends itself most to decoration and countless variations. Gothic capitals in particular, lend themselves to decoration and even more to abstract compositions based on the balance between letters alone, creating very contrasting, strong and striking images.

​

We will try to rewrite together the capitals of textura, fraktur and rotunda, with different flat-tipped tools, including unconventional ones, stretching and enlarging them, starting from very fine strokes to extrabold. A workshop that opens incredible expressive possibilities to Gothic letters due to their extreme versatility.

A workshop for those who want to delve into a very fascinating aspect of a script that has spanned the centuries attracting thousands of letter enthusiasts.

The workshop includes hands-on demonstrations and corrections of exercises submitted by students
