Uncial with Marcy Robinson

  • SVA Annex (room 703A) 214 East 21st Street New York, NY, 10010 United States (map)

Due to its popularity, the Uncial alphabet, a majuscule script (Capital Letters), appears in various versions, in the Byzantine, African, Italian, French, Spanish and English cultures, developing during the Fourth through the Eighth centuries from simple to more complex alphabets.

We will examine a simple alphabet in this one day class. The script is not as formal as Roman capitals. It is written faster, simpler and more free flowing, perhaps deriving from a roman cursive. There is very little pen manipulation or multiple pen angle adjustments. Uncials work well with Italic, Carolingian and Blackletter alphabets.
