Description

The Carolingian hand is an early medieval book hand that is easy to read, has generous line spacing because of its long ascenders and descenders, and is easy on the eye. Many of our modern type faces are based on Carolingian script. Explore the rhythm and spacing of this alphabet and discover families of letters. Near the end of the week, make a book to record your studies. All levels welcome.
