About Lettercraft

Practical guides to calligraphy, handwriting improvement, fountain pens, ink, paper and bullet journaling.

Who this site is for

Beginners and hobbyists who want clear advice on calligraphy tools, handwriting, pens, paper and journaling.

How the guides are written

  • Answer first. Each guide leads with the direct answer, then explains the why and the how.
  • Practical numbers. Concrete values you can use, with ranges rather than false precision.
  • Connected, not repeated. Short, focused articles link to the in-depth guide for their topic, so you can go as deep as you need.
  • Dated. Every article shows when it was published.
