		A majuscule letter "A" formed on the model of the three-stroke "a" that is the scribe's most common form (transcribed as "a" in our transcription).
		Majuscule "B." The familiar two-lobed form, the top lobe quite a bit bigger than the bottom one, the left vertical stroke curving away to the left at top, then broken at bottom with the continuation meeting the bow of the bottom lobe about mid-body.
		Majuscule "R" similar to modern printed "R," that is, composed of a vertical left stroke and of a right stroke that curves around from the top of that vertical to about its mid-point to form a bow, then ogees down and right to make the second leg.

		Roman capital letters are the foundation of the modern western alphabet and an understanding of these classical majuscule forms, of their proportions and aesthetics, is essential to the contemporary calligrapher.
		This module introduces students to the concepts of proportion and related majuscule forms and to methods of work and study, which enable them to analyse letterform and spacing.
		Practical studies and projects enable the students to transfer their understanding of letter weight, stress and related form to applications where the broad edged pen can no longer be the tool with which the letter is laid down.

		All the letters in a majuscule script are contained between a single pair of (real or theoretical) horizontal lines.
