Writing Calligraphy | Script Logotype
Writing Calligraphy | Script Logotype
Custom script logotype designed for my self-initiated educational website called Writing Calligraphy. This wordmark is based on my own calligraphy, partially connected, with short ascenders and loops in its descenders. It’s clean and contemporary, two elements that define the visual DNA of this educational project.
Project Background
This website is the culmination of many years of hands-on calligraphy practice and study. It has been created with the intention of educating and bringing a contemporary light to calligraphy and its close relationship to its younger cousin, typography—two elements that have always been present in my career since 2011.
The supplies page answers many questions my students have been asking for over a decade. My recommendations focus on simple and low-key materials that can take you far, as these are the same materials I have been using since my first time holding a calligraphy pen back in 1996 —that is last century!
The learning calligraphy section covers many aspects of calligraphy, such as styles, materials, guidelines, and a glossary of terms widely used in the letterform community.
The articles share my experiences in calligraphy and provide some handy typographic resources.
Finally, my courses offer self-paced learning experiences for everyone wanting to dive into the world of calligraphy, understand where our current alphabets come from, and learn which aspects have influenced their evolution.
