Sam and Ning making this calligraphy business look good

Type Tuesdays is not just a popular hashtag on Instagram, it's a popular day of the week for the 3 of us who enjoy some Netflix and twirling some type out with pointed pen and ink.

It's been going on for about a year now and we've definitely improved! There's also a distinct style for each of us, and you can see above. From left to right, there's me, Ning and Sam. We like to switch it up from traditional calligraphy nibs with ink to tombow brush pens, each requiring a different discipline and muscle memory. There's something so satisfying and immediate to making something by hand when you spend all day staring at a screen. I highly recommend it as recreational therapy – get doodling people!
