“Calligraphy is a kind of music not for the ears but for the eyes” (V. Lazursky)
Which Style Do You Prefer?
RACHMANINOFF
Traditional and Flourished
Like its namesake, the Rachmaninoff is dramatic, heavily flourished and romantic.
Beethoven
Traditional Hand
Classic Copperplate is simple, structured and recognizable, much like the most recognizable of the classical composers.
Chopin
Romantic and Elegant
I named my favorite style after my favorite composer. The Chopin is light, ethereal, and simply stunning.
Debussy
Minimal with flourished touches
Similar to the other Romanic, Rachmaninoff, but with most letters kept simple with more dramatically flourished capitals and end flourishes.
Bach
Classically Modern
A bit modern with a varied baseline while still following the rules of calligraphy.
Joplin
Modern and Relaxed
Having a bit of fun and getting funky with lettering while keeping the baseline steady, that’s the Joplin hand.
Schumann
Modern and Fun
Inspired by the composers’ Scenes from Childhood, this is a carefree, casual style.
Mozart
Modern with a bit of drama
It’s fun and modern like the Schumann, but with lots of flair.
