Calligraphy spacing is one of the necessary evils of creating beautiful envelopes. Here, I share my tips for making sure the calligraphy on my envelopes is straight, centered, and aesthetically-pleasing.
I am sure that there are a {very} small handful of calligraphers out there blessed with an uncanny ability to space correctly 99% of the time without the aid of a ruler. I am not one of them. No matter what type of calligraphy I am creating, I use some spacing method to ensure that my envelopes turn out perfect. Since it’s a service that my clients are paying for, I would feel uncomfortable not giving them my best work!
In today’s blog post, we are going to delve into the tedious world of calligraphy spacing. Calligraphy spacing takes up a considerable amount of time and is boring, but oh-so-necessary.
If I am addressing a large amount of envelopes, I make a little template. Basically, this template consists of two strips of paper that are as tall as my envelopes. I tape these strips of paper to my desk, ensuring an envelope fits snugly between them, then I make marks on them to draw my lines.
