In this episode, I go over the unique time/era that I began calligraphy, and all of the major changes that occurred right after. Thanks for listening and please subscribe to keep up with weekly updates! --Christy Toney

Broad edge calligraphy - This is what the thicker calligraphy looks like and prior to 2009-10 its pretty much ALL you would see. You will still see Blackletter and Gothic type calligraphy on socials and also inside country clubs (think founder's lists) and charters. Churches utilize this style a lot as well. Its referred to as broad edge because you need a chisel or broad tipped tool in order to craft the letters.

Pointed Pen - Pointed pen nibs create styles that are more script in nature and is similar to what you see all of the time now on socials as it relates to calligraphy. The nib is steel and is shaped into a point and the amount of pressure you add opens up what is referred to as "tines" to create shaded or thick lines that will butt up against a thin line.
