Codex Writing – Gothic Textura Calligraphy – Workshop

Discover the historical foundations of Gothic Textura calligraphy and transform them into your own contemporary visual language! The FineTyping full-day course provides in-depth technical knowledge and encourages pushing boundaries: past and present, geometric and organic lines, strict form and personal expression meet on your paper. After learning traditional minuscules, capitals, and embellishments, you will create your own codex page, honouring tradition while bearing your unique imprint. 100% screen-free, analogue relaxation, combining art and creative “me time”! The programme is suitable for complete beginners as well as those with basic graphic knowledge. The workshop is led by Tímea Soós, certified typographer and calligraphy instructor.

This is a HYBRID programme: participation is possible on-site in Budapest and online.

About the Organiser:
Behind the FineTyping brand is Tímea Soós, a certified typographer, calligraphy teacher, and graphic designer. In today’s fast-paced world, dominated by mass production, consumption, and constant rush, it is increasingly difficult to find focus, the chance to slow down, and the joy of presence. Calligraphy, the art of beautiful handwriting, connects past and present through hand-formed letters, bridging artistic traditions and contemporary visuality. FineTyping workshops, materials, and educational methods offer an analogue alternative to digital noise, helping rediscover the value of handwriting, the joy of creation, and the meditative power of manual processes. These programmes support not only the acquisition of new skills but also deepen presence, self-expression, and alignment with a more balanced life.
