Lupfer, Ziller created this versatile text hand that is quick to letter and is easy to read.

Perfect for resolutions, diplomas, poems, citations, certificates, and decorative projects, this lettering style is adaptable to a wide variety of applications. In class, you’ll learn the foundational letterforms, discover useful variations, and gain confidence in creating consistent, attractive lettering.

As you practice, you’ll develop the skills needed for proper letter spacing and word spacing—two of the most important elements of beautiful calligraphy. By the end of the workshop, you’ll complete a finished piece that showcases your new lettering skills and serves as a reference for future projects.
