Artful and full of character, hand lettering shuns uniformity and captivates with draftsmanship. Once fallen out of favour when many opted for neat, accurate and efficient type printing enabled by letterpress and later digital press, hand-rendered letterforms are making a comeback, reminding us what we have lost in the digital age. Delving into the booming scene where creators are eager to revive hand lettering art, Handy with Lettering talks to some of today’s most sought-after artists to find out how they blend in modern influences and project personality into bespoke designs for brands, editorials, interiors and advertising campaigns. The book will offer a diverse showcase with recent artworks arranged by style, followed by step-by-step instructions on how to perfect the craft with different drawing tools.
