Small-Format Lettering
A focused lettering course for working small — envelopes, cards, and journals — where control matters more than scale. You'll practice classic and modern lettering styles and finish with a set of pieces you'd actually be happy to gift.
What you'll learn
- Control a brush pen or nib for consistent small lettering
- Letter in at least two distinct styles (modern and classic)
- Lay out and compose a small piece (card, envelope, tag)
- Finish a small portfolio of gift-ready lettering pieces
