• An innovative 5-hole design utilizing the edge of the tool as the sixth line.

Get creative!

Try combining different sets of holes to create additional guideline schemes, kick the triangle up on one corner and use it to ink the crossbar of your minuscule “t,” or spin the triangle to the third (top) angle and produce 73° angled slant lines for a more upright script.
