Do you ❤️ pangrams?

Pangrams are holoalphabetic sentences—they include every letter of the alphabet. You know the one: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

Pangrams are loved by lexophiles—especially calligraphers.

In January of 2023, Heather Leavitt Martinez gave students in her Improve Your Handwriting class stickers that featured a pangram she wrote. She then challenged her students to write their own pangrams to help practice their lettering. A few hours later, Cate Smock emailed her with the pangram she wrote and Heather immediately reached out to the Sweethearts of Lettering. It was in that moment that the Pangram Love contest began!

Celebrate World Pangram Day: February 1

During the celebration event for the contest winners on February 14, 2023, we declared February 1 to be World Pangram Day. There were over 100 people in attendance including the jurors of the contest, the Sweethearts of Lettering:

• Sharon Zeugin
• Mike Gold
• Carol DuBosch

To learn tips about writing your own pangram, you may scroll to the bottom of this page and submit your original pangram anytime.
The deadline is midnight on February 1 of each year.

Congratuations to the 2024 Pangram Winners!

The Sweethearts of Lettering each chose their favorite pangram and created an original calligraphic piece that is then turned into a sticker. Each generously sized sticker (~3"- 4") features back printing.
