SPONSOR: South Los Angeles Chapter (Solar Nibs)
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Stunt Roman is a playful variation of Roman letters characterized by contrasting round, chonky letters and slender vertical ones. It was developed and published by William H. Gordon in his “Unique & Eccentric Letters” in 1915 and further developed by Ross F. George, his Speedball partner, in their Speedball Textbooks.
In this 4-hour workshop, we'll be taking our beloved basic monoline Roman letters out for a spin Speedball style!
This workshop will be recorded and available for a month.
Zoom invitation and handouts, if any, will be sent out a few days prior to workshop date.
SUPPLY LIST:
-
Mechanical Pencil (0.5mm or varying sizes, if you have them)
