CalligraphyStrokes

25 brewing methods with real recipes. AI barista coach explains every parameter.

CalligraphyStrokes is a focused trainer for the foundational strokes behind every calligraphy hand — and a place to practise them.

PRACTISE ON THE CANVAS Trace each stroke on a pressure-aware practice canvas. Glide up for whisper-thin hairlines, pull down for bold shades — the ink swells and thins as a real pointed pen would. A dashed guide, slant lines, and a start dot show you exactly where to begin. Hairline upstroke, shade, underturn, overturn, compound curve, and the pointed-pen oval.

A CLEAN STROKE REFERENCE Every stroke across ten hands — Copperplate, Spencerian, Italic, Foundational, Gothic blackletter, Uncial, modern pointed, modern brush, East Asian sumi-e, and Arabic — with the right nib and ink, the letterforms it builds, its character, where to use it, and what to avoid.

AN AI CALLIGRAPHY COACH Ask concrete questions — "why do my upstrokes catch and spray?" — and get specific guidance grounded in pen angle, pressure, and slant.

A PRACTICE JOURNAL Save a note against any stroke — what to focus on next time — and build a record of your progress.

Everything runs on-device. No account, no analytics.
