Using using simple drawing tools, learn the fundamental skeletal proportions of classical Imperial Roman caps, optical spacing, influences of broad edged tools on the weighting of strokes, curves, swells and serifs; connections of hand made forms with early serifed Roman type, relationships between capitals to lowercase, and between serifed Roman and sans serif type forms.
