Alphabet April: A Lettering challenge
Looking for fresh inspiration to get creative with your calligraphy? Alphabet April is the perfect challenge to help you stretch your skills and spark new ideas.
Each day throughout April, you'll focus on a different letter, number, or symbol - encouraging you to step outside your comfort zone and try new styles. It's a brilliant way to avoid getting stuck in the habit of writing every letter the same way.
As you become more confident, it’s natural to have a go-to style for your "A", "B", and beyond, but exploring new forms can help you develop a richer, more personal calligraphy style.
