A24 — Very Free Versals
One-Day Class, Sunday, July 26
All Levels
Lettering
These very free versals are just that. Based on traditional versal forms, these variations create a larger space that can have color and design added for visual impact. The joy of these letterforms is there is room for students to experiment with structure but still focus on creating good design.
