The last demonstration of this season's Kalligraphia exhibit featured renowned lettering artist Carl Rohrs. His lesson, called "Capital Ideas" focused on capital letters that aren't recognizable calligraphic styles today, but have evolved over the years by various artists into these interesting, dynamic letter forms.
One of my favorite aspects of calligraphy is pen control and what you can do to a line just by changing the angle and pressure of the instrument. The last image is a perfect illustration of how you can mold a letter into a unique composition just by tweaking the stroke of your pen.
