Punchy & Playful: Stunty Romans

When Ross F. George developed his Stunt Roman letters style in the 1920s, he had in mind the needs of show card writers: punchy, flashy, easy-to-learn letters.  A hundred years later, calligraphers and lettering artists still need (and love) punchy, flashy, and easy-to-learn letters!  In this 2-hour program, we will capture the essence of George's playful letters, learn how to assemble them like puzzle pieces, and build them up like sketch artists to create letters with weight, texture, and visual interest.
