Because of their flexibility, the guidelines may be used to practice many calligraphy styles including modern calligraphy.

Designed specifically for calligraphers and people who are learning or practising calligraphy, it can also be used for other purposes such as writing letters. Special emphasis was put on paper quality, which has been tested with many inks - it suffered no feathering, blotting or bleeding through. The paper has a high degree of smoothness, which makes it non-scratchy and unmatched in use for calligraphy with a sharp-pointed dip pen nib. The good quality and smoothness of paper is important at every stage of learning calligraphy, but especially at the beginning because it saves the beginners a lot of frustration, problems and discouragement when learning to write with a sharp, flexible nib.

The cover is made of recycled paper and printed in dark chocolate color, therefore has an elegant look with a vintage touch, very suitable for a tasteful gift.
