How to Learn Calligraphy | Minuscules & Numerals
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure policy.

From the comments & emails I receive on the How to Learn Calligraphy series, I can tell you’re excited. I am particularly excited to share today’s printable in the calligraphy series – minuscules & numerals! I partnered with Shannan of Paperglaze Calligraphy to continue the series. I know that there is a more technical name for the font, but I love the wispiness of her modern calligraphy. Her lettering styles are so inspiring! Once you perfect a lettering style, it’s fun to learn a new one, which is exactly what you will be doing today!
Just a few reminders as we move forward with learning a new lettering style:
Don’t be afraid to go back. For your convenience here is the series, in order:
- How to Learn Calligraphy
- Getting Started
- Back to Basics
- The Calligraphy Alphabet
- Practice Words
- Practice Makes Perfect
- Calligraphy Resources & Left Handed Calligraphy
- Miniscules & Numerals {today’s}
It’s okay to pick up your pen.
Practice a minimum of 15 -20 minutes a month or an hour + a lesson.
Subscribers received this printable as a surprise a couple weeks ago, but I’m making it available to everyone today! Click here to print the minuscules & numerals exemplar courtesy of Paperglaze Calligraphy. As always, PLEASE link back to the original post & not the printable itself. Doing so will just encourage us to share more 🙂

Jullie, I too am new to your sight and have attempted to download the grid ..however it only downloads in the smallest of size. I suspect I’m doing something wrong. I have signed up and can’t wait for newsletters and to get started learning calligraphy. Thanks

I’m sorry…I bet you have your printer settings to print at x%. You can start following the course from the beginning here.

I stumbled upon this site and it inspires me to do lettering and styles. I had studied this when I was in high school and using speedballs and didn’t give any interest on it. I had never thought that it would be my recent interest.
Thanks for the inspiration. I have started mine.

Trying to get the lesson on minis cults an numerals. I’m new here and can’t figure things out yet plus I’m kind of a slow learner. Thanks for any help you can give me Vic

Only the link to the ‘miniscules and numerals’ brings me to a pdf that can be printed and downloaded. The other links to the practice pages only bring me to photographs. Am I doing something wrong? I realize it has been quite some time since you originally posted these blogs entries. Thank you!

Hi Sara! I just checked them all and they’re working/linked properly.
