The art of the written word. Meet the people and the purpose behind our work.
Pen & Quill is a calligraphy and lettering studio in Livermore, California, led by partner Antonio Montano. Nestled in the Tri-Valley, the studio serves couples, families, and institutions across the East Bay and beyond with handcrafted lettering for the moments that matter most.
Antonio's practice grew from a lifelong fascination with historical scripts and the tools that shaped them - quills, nibs, iron gall ink, and the patient hands that guided them. That reverence for tradition anchors everything the studio produces, even as its work embraces modern aesthetics.
In a world of instant everything, Pen & Quill offers the opposite: slow, deliberate, beautiful. We invite you to slow down with us, and to put the words that matter into hands that care how they look.

Every stroke carries attention and care.
Materials chosen to last generations.
Teaching the craft to new hands.

Pen & Quill is led by Antonio Montano, who serves as Partner. Every project receives direct, personal attention - because the standard we hold ourselves to is the one you deserve.
We are proud to call Livermore home, and we treat every client like a neighbor. When you work with us, you work with people who know your name and stand behind their work.
Stop by, call, or send a message - whichever feels easiest. We'll take it from there.
