Talltype – practice booklet for fineliner

A long, streamlined style that requires precision and patience. Perfect for neat quotes .
 

This very condensed, long-legged style has been around since 2016, and I must have used it hundreds of times. If consistency is achieved, Tall Type looks very neat and strict, turning words and quotes into perfect rectangles, almost like barcode. It takes some practice to get used to, but in these sheets we take it step by step: you get to practice on three different sizes so that your hand slowly gets used to extending the vertical lines more and more without wavering. For this style, a fineliner like Pigma Micron’s

The Economist – fine line writing practice sheet

A practical style to suit longer texts – functional and easy to read.

This functional, no-fuss style is quite easy to learn and can be used in many different occasions – it’s clean effective look suits longer quotes and single words. Readability is quite high and the simple lines are perfect for shading! The Economist hasn’t been with me that long, but it’s already one of my favorites.
I am seriously considering making this my signature style.

The Kaosyoga – Really funny lettering

Chaos yoga, one of my very first styles, if not the first. It’s been around for more than four years, this one, and I still love its vertical, condensed and rectangular look.

It doesn’t have the highest legibility, but it has SOUL, and it’s a great exercise for all the letterers out there. You’ll be a master at regulating pressure and drawing straight lines once you’ve been wrestling Kaosyoga for a while, trust me. Once you start controlling it, it’s also one of the most fun styles to draw.

The Tattoo – Exercise sheet

For those who want to experiment with thicker lines and an eye-catching look.

A rather dramatic diva that will have you testing a thicker brush pen nib. It’s great for single words and standalone titles (imagine it headlining a wedding invitation!), and also dresses up shorter quotes to calm the party.

Jessie – Perfect lettering style for the beginner

Jessie, a little monoline rebel who turns most of what you’ve learned about brush pen styles upside down.

Jessie is a playful style for fun quotes, place cards or the occasional kitchen table love note. In addition to capitalization, you also get practice words, some variations and complete quotes to try out. I also write about the characteristics of the style and how to learn new styles in general and then some.

For this practice sheet, I recommend brushes with fine tips such as Staedtler Pigment Liner 1.2 or perhaps, for larger quotes, Sakura Pen Touch 2.0.

The Actress – For writing style with a broader brush pen

This 25-page downloadable worksheet is dedicated to ‘The Actress’ – a dramatic and expressive style that challenges you to use a broader brush. Perfect for headlines, such as on a wedding invitation, or to emphasize shorter quotes and create a sophisticated feel.

The sheet contains different techniques, variations and basic brush strokes, and gives you the opportunity to practice both upper and lower case letters, words, quotes and style variations.

To create this exercise book, I used a slightly wider brush tip than usual, from Pentel Brush Sign Pen set with a large tip. The softer tip offers a greater challenge but produces thick, elegant lines while maintaining the thin hairlines for a beautiful contrast.

The Canadian – For writing style with a thinner brush pen

A no-nonsense style for all occasions – easy to learn and apply.

A no fuss brush style that is quite straight forward and therefore also easy to learn. In addition to capitalization, you also get to practice words, some variations and a full quote. I also write about the characteristics of the style and how to learn new styles in general and then some.

For this writing exercise, I recommend thin brush pens like the Pentel Brush Sign Pen, which comes in many colors, or perhaps the larger nib, which comes in the set of 3 Pentels.

The George – Lettering style for posters and cards

This round and playful monoline style is both fun to draw and a challenge for those of us who struggle with creating soft, swirly shapes. That’s why I’ve also added a page of exercises for creating smooth, round shapes. George’s soft lines make the style perfect for posters and cards, and you don’t need a special brush – a heavy fineliner or bullet-tip pen works well. I usually use my Sakura Pen Touch for this, but in this particular worksheet I’ve adjusted the size to work well with Staedtler Pigment Liner sizes 1.0 and 1.2.

After purchase, you will receive a link to a downloadable PDF that you can print and use at any time. With these worksheets, you can develop your own unique style – right at home or on the move.
