Gothic Calligraphy Tutorial

Thought this was a cool little tutorial on calligraphy in Illustrator. I found it really interesting how this combined a lot of the tools that we’ve learned about, specifically how the artist uses the pen tool first and then changes the stroke to calligraphic brushes after laying everything out instead of just using the brushes to begin with which is what I probably would’ve done. It’s also cool how regular this font is, to the point of it being almost mathematical. I don’t know anything about typography but watching this made me want to learn more!
