Beyond the traditional broad-edge and pointed nibs, there's a whole world of unconventional tools waiting to be explored — nibs with square or round-shaped tips. These special nibs can trace lines with rounded endings, or bring unexpected contrast to letterforms in ways that go beyond what we're used to.

​

Starting from the skeleton of a script we already know, we'll discover how to use these tools — sometimes conventionally, sometimes not — through variations in rhythm and contrast, supported by techniques that play with pressure and manipulation.

​

What we'll cover:

​

• Lesson 1 - We'll start with the basics: foundational strokes and lowercase letters using the B-series nib.

• Lesson 2 - We'll move on to rhythm variations and uppercase letters, building on what we've learned

• Lesson 3 - We'll close with composition and an introduction to the A-series nib.
