Generate precise, deterministic calligraphy guide sheets with exact spacing and slant lines.

3 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides precise geometric calculations for calligraphy practitioners. It allows AI agents to generate exact guide line spacing, including ascender height, descender depth, and baseline positions, based on specific script types like Copperplate, Spencerian, Italic, Gothic, or Modern Brush. By using generate_guide_dimensions, you can determine precise vertical and horizontal measurements. You can also use generate_slant_grid to calculate the exact placement of diagonal slant lines, and get_nib_profiles to identify supported pen widths for accurate spacing logic.

Calculate the guide dimensions for a Copperplate script with an x-height of 5mm and a 1.0mm nib width.

For a Copperplate script with a 5mm x-height and 1.0mm nib, the ascender height is 15mm, the descender depth is 10mm, and the total line height is 30mm.

What are the available nib widths for my calculations?

The available nib widths are 0.3mm, 0.5mm, 1.0mm, 1.5mm, and 2.0mm.

Determine the slant line positions for a 55 degree slant on a 200mm tall page.

The slant lines will be placed at 5mm vertical intervals throughout the 200mm page height at a 55 degree angle.

You can use the `generate_guide_dimensions` tool by providing the script type, the desired x-height in millimeters, and the nib width.
