The Masgrimes Lining Triangle elevates a tool that’s been around for over a century, offering modern improvements inspired by historic designs. Created by American penman and historian David Grimes, this minimalist tool reimagines vintage classics like the Soennecken Rundschrift-Maass and the Ames Lettering Guide. The result? A more intuitive, versatile solution that belongs in every calligrapher’s toolkit.
Details:
- Graduated marking holes for x-heights ranging from 3mm to 8mm.
- 55° angle for precise Roundhand slant lines.
- 52° angle for precise Spencerian slant lines.
- Innovative 5-hole design that uses the tool’s edge as a sixth line.
- Made from high-quality acrylic for clear visibility while lining.
Try combining different holes to develop custom guideline schemes, prop the triangle on a corner to ink crossbars on minuscule t’s, or rotate it to the top angle to create 73° slant lines for a more upright script style. The possibilities are endless.
Features:
- Intuitive: Features standard x-heights in an easy-to-follow left-to-right layout for fast, accurate line setups.
- Compact: Large enough for versatile use but small enough to fit into travel cases for on-the-go lining.
- Convenient: Comes in a resealable pouch.
This product has a protective film on both sides to prevent scratches and chips during transit. Peel off the film before use for optimal clarity.
