Calligraphy Practice app for iPhone and iPad

This app DOES NOT work with a STYLUS.

The Calligraphy practice app was developed to be the best software to learn, practice and develop calligraphy.
This project was designed from scratch to appeal both to the beginner and expert calligrapher because of its easy tracing system, and advanced calligraphic brush tool.

Ease of use, power and efficiency are in the core of this app.
We have developed a calligraphic brush tool that will allow the liberty and efficiency of a real flat brush or flat tip pen, by returning the flat brush control to the hand and the hand only.
With it one can start to draw a character with one inclination and finish with a different one; its possible achieve different thicknesses along the same stroke; one can lift and turn the paintbrush to finish off serifs; all this can be done in a natural instinctive way that works as an extension of the hand.
All this without the need to set previous parameters as in traditional software.

Learn calligraphy on your own:
Tutorial tracing fonts were developed according to the scale of the iPad and fingers.
These were designed as two lines, one for each finger, with indication of where to begin the gesture, and where to end.
The users will place their fingers on each starting point, and by following the lines they will be able to draw the character correctly on their own, without the help of an instructor.

Practice and trace over:
> A foundation hand font - based on Caroline calligraphy that is the base of roman type;
> An italic font;
> A capitals font;
> A set of numbers and punctuation.

And now some blackletter fonts:
> A textura quadrata font
> A fraktur font
> Gothic capitals


Take advantage of advance features such as:
> email your writings as a PDF with editable bezier curves;
> The ability to undo or redo;
> Easily share and copy;
> Connect to a projector;
