The Calligraphy Book.
A Guide to Blackletter Rotunda.
Blackletter — Rotunda is the second book in Calligraphy Manuals: a collection of instructional books where each one approaches a single calligraphic style.
Calligraphy Manuals: Blackletter — Rotunda dives into the mediaeval script of the same name, and is a collaboration between Hugo “Xesta” Moura, a seasoned calligrapher and 0.itemzero.
Thoroughly illustrated, from tools to letter shapes, it covers the full spectrum of the Rotunda hand and goes all the way through to advanced letter construction. All of it fully annotated with descriptions, hints and tips, breaking down concepts and techniques in the most simple and straightforward way, in order to optimise learning the style.
Highly illustrated, and packed with historical and contemporary variations. Includes 750+ handmade illustrations for the Rotunda alphabet.
To accompany the book, two silkscreen print posters were also developed and are available at our online store.
