ABSTRACT:
A calligraphic alphabet lettering kit comprised of a layout sheet for a selected alphabet and ruling guide is disclosed with a method of self-teaching of the art of calligraphy. The ruling guide is used for ruling sets of calligraphic alphabet lettering guidelines. The guidelines correspond to the position of ascender, head, base, descender and air lines for the alphabet, the distance between the guidelines being determined by the style of the alphabet and the size of the pen nib. The ruling guide is comprised of a set of planar members each having at least one substantially straight edge and a set of scale lines printed upon its face spaced apart vertically from one another a distance corresponding to the spacing between the alphabet guidelines. Along the straight edge can optionally be v-shaped notches, the point of each notch meeting a scale line and these notches assist in the alignment of the writing instrument in exact register wit the scale lines. The layout sheet illustrates a selected calligraphic alphabet overlaid onto the guidelines showing the shape, length, and direction of each pen stroke and the angle at which the pen nib is held.
