悪筆がコンプレックスでしたが、基本の線の練習から始められて、少しずつ整った文字が書けるようになりました。細い線と太い線の使い分けの解説が分かりやすく、ペン一本でモダンカリグラフィーの雰囲気が出せます。書いた手紙を友人に褒められて、続ける励みになっています。

I came in with truly messy handwriting and left able to write a card that people actually compliment. The breakdown of basic strokes, thin upstrokes and thick downstrokes, finally made modern lettering click for me. I loved that the guides were written and illustrated step by step, so I could practice each letterform at my own pace. The section on faux calligraphy meant I could start with just a regular pen before buying a brush. I'd have liked a little more on full layouts and spacing words evenly. Still, for learning beautiful writing from scratch, it's a wonderful place to start.

삐뚤빼뚤하던 제 글씨가 기본 획 연습만으로 이렇게 달라지다니, 모던 캘리그래피 입문으로 딱이에요.
