ELEGANCE IN SIMPLICITY OF LINE

Even and uneven pressure with a straight pen creates graceful Script line. After practicing letter formations we added "flourishes"--line extensions and overlapping curves--a nice drawing skill with the pen, as well as decorative letter enhancement.

PUTTING IT TOGETHER

  Swing to the left, curve to the right, pressure down, upwards light, graceful caps and lower case smalls---all put together in a simple Script form. No wonder the straight pen point is called "flexible"! This pen is easy to manipulate and very rewarding in return.

Don't miss these! Then, on to Poster Style. Where Roman and Script are thick and thin, the Poster pen is consistently the same, no matter how it is moved. See the animation and check it out!
