COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Join us for Stunt Roman Capitals where we take our beloved Roman capitals out for a spin -- Speedball style!
Stunt Roman is a lettering style developed in the 1920s by Ross F. George, inventor of the Speedball pens and co-author of the original Speedball Textbook. Known for its contrasting wide round letters and narrow vertical ones, Stunt Roman is easy to learn and fun to write.
In this class, we will learn the basic Roman capital skeleton forms and how they transform into George's Stunt Roman letters as well as a few variations from his Draftsman & Architect 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.
