Book excerpt: Contemporary Calligraphy describes in detail and demonstrates clearly through the many accompanying diagrams, how to write formal scripts well and then adapt and vary them to enhance and interpret texts. The book begins with a historical overview of letters from the Trajan inscription of 110 AD to the Renaissance. There is a comprehensive section on tools and materials and how to begin. Then the focus is on good writing of six major scripts based on historical models, moving on to show how each script can be adapted through weight and form change, pen manipulation and pressure change to make it a lively and contemporary form. Design, layout, use of colour and information on paper are included, along with the use of alternative tools, the pencil and the pointed brush, to draw and paint letters. The book is a comprehensive and practical manual for both the beginner and for the more experienced student who wants to take their writing up to another level.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This largely pictorial survey embraces the development and practice of Western calligraphy in the twentieth century. It ranges from the revival by Edward Johnston of calligraphy based on historical scripts, through the pioneering work of his students in Britain, Germany and North America, to the current period of expansion and new forms of expression. Calligraphers are increasingly looking beyond the traditional to the dynamics of German graphic design and to the calligraphy of other cultures -- Islamic and Japanese. Illustrations include examples of historical scripts and the work of some 100 calligraphers, particularly contemporary work from such hands as Donald Jackson, Friedrich Neugebauer and Thomas Ingmire.
