Description

Discover and work with the Irish Insular alphabet using a broad edge writing tool.

This alphabet is called a majuscule alphabet (letters stay within the upper writing and lower writing lines), but since it was developed from a half-uncial alphabet (roman half-uncial) it does have some of the letters descending below or ascending above the writing lines. Historically, it was used primarily in Ireland, adapted by the followers of St. Patrick.

No previous calligraphy experience is needed.
