Written Word Calligraphy and Design launches summer sale through July 6

Written Word Calligraphy and Design has its Summer Sale running through midnight on July 6, 2026, with 15 percent off selected items when shoppers use code SUMMER26. The discount skips new arrivals and snail mail products, and it will not be applied retroactively to past purchases, which keeps the offer tightly aimed at current stock rather than past orders.

That narrow sale still reaches deep into the kind of inventory calligraphers actually build around. The shop said the promotion covers a broad slice of calligraphy-related goods, including supplies, wax seal tools and digital worksheets, the sort of mix that often ends up in the same cart when a lettering practice starts turning into a real setup at home. Written Word describes itself as a full-service calligraphy studio with online calligraphy courses, modern calligraphy tools and supplies, and custom fine art wedding invitations, and says orders ship from its U.S. and Canada studios. The site also runs The Scribe, a monthly Scripture snail mail club, which makes the business feel less like a storefront and more like a small studio with several lanes at once.

What gives this sale post extra weight is the family detail tucked inside it. Written Word shared a practice snapshot of everyone lettering together with its Brush Calligraphy Advent Calendar printed on larger sheets, and said Chase has been working on his lettering over the summer. That is the kind of detail hobby calligraphers notice immediately because it shows the work in its natural setting, with practice materials spread across a table instead of staged as a polished product shot. The calendar itself was introduced in a June 2026 post as a 24-day introduction to brush calligraphy, and the shop said it was meant to last beyond the holiday season. In other words, it was built as a teaching tool first, and a seasonal object second.

That emphasis on practice lines up with the broader calligraphy world. Practice sheets are valued because they help build muscle memory and foundational skills, and handwriting practice is often linked to literacy and cognitive benefits. IAMPETH, founded in 1949, still frames its mission around practicing and teaching calligraphy, engrossing and fine penmanship, restoring penmanship instruction in schools and preserving American penmanship traditions. A June 2026 commercial estimate put the calligraphy supply market at $1.85 billion in 2025, with growth projected to $2.69 billion by 2032, which helps explain why independent shops keep leaning on instruction, tools and community in the same breath.

Written Word’s sale works because it feels like part of that larger culture, not apart from it. The offer ends July 6, but the real hook is the way the shop folds family practice, teaching and supplies into one voice, the same way a good worksheet turns a blank page into a place to keep going.
