Copperplate is where it all began for me. It is that timeless, romantic script defined by the dance between thick and thin strokes, perfect for your most special words.

For those special, romantic moments, I use the classic Copperplate style. Its elegant and timeless feel is perfect for proposals, anniversaries, or just to say "I love you." This "Marry Me Love" piece is a perfect example.

The beauty of Copperplate is in the details. Watch how the nib flexes to create the flowing, ornate letters of the word "Beauty." It's a dance between pressure and release.

A simple word like "Friend" becomes a piece of art in Copperplate script. This style adds a touch of grace and importance to any word or phrase.

This black and white video focuses on the clean, sharp lines of Copperplate. Writing "Be Bold" in this classic style creates a beautiful contrast between the message and the delicate script.

Love is a popular theme in my work. Here, I'm writing "Love is deep" on gridded paper, which helps maintain the precise angles and consistency that this script is known for.

This split-screen video shows the creation of three powerful words: "Faith," "Trust," and "Believe." Copperplate calligraphy gives these affirmations a sense of permanence and grace.

A simple and powerful affirmation, "I am enough," written in white ink on black paper. The high contrast really makes the delicate flourishes and elegant letterforms of the Copperplate script stand out.

About Classic Copperplate Calligraphy

When I sit down with a pointed nib, it is all about pressure and release. That is how we get those distinct thick and thin strokes that define Copperplate. If you are planning a set of vows or a letter, keep in mind I work on 100 GSM artist-grade paper to ensure the ink sits perfectly. You just have to trust the process, and I will handle the details.
