STROKE & SWASH





Stencil + Specimen Sheet, 2024



STROKE & SWASH is a two part stencil set inspired by calligraphic strokes and ornamental swashes. Designed for creating italic letterforms, it follows a two step process, the first stencil establishes a primary letterform, and the second stencil adds flourishes. This tool serves both to construct and deconstruct letterforms, inviting users to explore the art of ornamentation and reinvention.
