Chisel Tip

Flat, angled edge for broad-nib style calligraphy.

Dry Brush Texture

Streaky, textured strokes for a more analog feel.

Ink Splatter Stamp

FAQ

Questions people usually ask

Is this actually free?

Yes. Both the book and the brush pack are free to download, with no email or account required.

Can I use the brushes for client / commercial work?

Yes — personal and commercial lettering projects are both fine. Please don't resell the pack itself.

Do the brushes only work in Procreate?

They're built with Procreate in mind, but since they're plain transparent PNGs they also import into Photoshop, Affinity Photo/Designer, and most other brush-based editors.

Do I need prior calligraphy experience?

No — the guide starts from the basics: how pressure controls line weight, and how to build that into full letterforms.
