With the rise of 'do-it-yourselfers', there is a growing demand for a simple calligraphy guide. This book answers that call, with a focus on only the popular Italic alphabet rather than the multitude normally covered by other books (Gothic, Uncials, Half-uncials and so on). After learning the basic letters, the book presents an open invitation and a bit of inspiration - to make calligraphy one's own with creative flourishes for every project and occasion. With a modern two-colour design and simple explanatory text, Simply Calligraphys unintimidating approach proves that calligraphy is as easy as picking up pen and paper.
