Studio Masgrimes

Masgrimes is a Portland-based calligraphy studio grounded in historical techniques and fine craftsmanship.

I believe in taking time to understand the nature and potential of each project, exploring ways to bring historical charm into all that I do, and producing fine penwork that will last for generations.

Let’s make something that lasts »
