Introduction to Copperplate Calligraphy for Beginners (Part 3)

In this third introduction to Copperplate calligraphy, I talk about compound curves or double turn movements to create letter n, m, v, w and letter y.

I hope these short videos are helping beginner students getting started in their journey into Copperplate calligraphy.

ABOUT ME

I am an independent lettering designer and illustrator specialised in branding assets and calligraphy education.

My creative practice is set by the principals of never stop learning, sharing knowledge and create emotion through my work.

In 2011 I studied a Postgraduate Course in Advanced Typography in Barcelona, and in 2012 a Typeface Design Condensed Program at Cooper Union in New York City.

Nowadays, I split my time between Melbourne and Barcelona working in partnership with brand design agencies helping them craft and develop their identity systems with emotionally charged visual elements including display type, logo design, monograms, wordmarks, lettering, illustration, patterning, packaging and digital assets.
