Happy mail day: getting packages from @notjustacard! Cyrus sent me the @aquino_da_silva calligraphy ruler to test and I LOVE IT. . If you’ve followed me for a while you know I’m a huge fan of the Ames Lettering Guide; but I think that for my purposes, this is actually better. It’s all in metric, for one thing 😂 American measurements have never made much sense to me so I’m stoked that this goes up in easy 1mm increments from 3mm x-height to 7mm. . You get a choice of whether you want a 2:1:2 or 3:2:3 ascender/descender ratio - or you can just rule five parallel lines at a time and pick your own x-height. . But the 55° angle ruler is the best part. Sure, you can do that with a protractor - but that’s an extra ten seconds 😂 this makes it super easy and will definitely be becoming part of my everyday toolkit. @notjustacard sent me this one free of charge to review but I already want to buy another just in case I lose it 🤭 #hoarder . In Australia they are exclusively available at @notjustacard’s online store - click through the link in his bio. Overseas I’m not sure but maybe someone can help in the comments? . . . . #calligraphy #notjustacard #aquino_da_silva #calligraphyruler #calligraphytools #learncalligraphy #productreview #lovemyjob #calligraphylife #calligraphynerd #melbourne #calligraphyshop #calligraphyau
