Description

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 serious calligrapher’s toolkit.

Key features include:

  • 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 edge of the tool as a sixth line.
  • Made from high-quality acrylic for clear visibility while lining.
  • Designed & manufactured in the US.

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 truly endless.

Why you’ll love it:

  • Intuitive Design: Features standard x-heights in an easy-to-follow left-to-right layout for fast, accurate line setups.
  • Compact & Travel-Ready: Large enough for versatile use but small enough to fit into travel cases for on-the-go lining.
  • Convenient: Comes in a resealable pouch.
