How to Learn Your Calligraphy ABCs
All you’ll need to duplicate the gothic calligraphy letters in this post is:
- Gothic calligraphy examples (like the printables in this post).
- A thin-ish piece of paper. (You’ll actually want more than one!)
- A writing utensil. Since we’re just getting started this doesn’t have to be anything too fancy!
Okay, ready?
- Print out your gothic calligraphy practice sheet. To get started, I recommend picking just one letter to focus on vs. the entire upper or gothic calligraphy lowercase letters alphabet.
- Place that thin-ish piece of paper over top of the gothic calligraphy cheat sheet you printed. (You should be able to see the letter through the piece of paper.)
- Trace!
- Repeat steps 2 and 3, again and again, until you feel happy with your tracing or confident enough to try to recreate the gothic calligraphy letter free-hand.
Keep practicing! Just like any hobby or skill, mastery takes time! Don’t get discouraged; if this is something you really want to get good at consider keeping pictures of calligraphy alphabets (like the gothic letters) someplace you’ll see them regularly. Just getting visually more familiar with the gothic calligraphy fonts can help you gain confidence!

Capital Gothic Calligraphy Alphabet
These gothic calligraphy examples are all capital letters. Depending on what you’re doing with your gothic calligraphy writing, you will likely be using a lot more lowercase letters. Consider getting started by working on mastering the most common letters in English (such as the letter “E”) in lowercase first to get the most out of your time!
