Art of Hand Lettering

Intrigued by the hot hand lettering trend, and having always harbored a love of sketching and typography, I set about creating mini hand lettering challenges for myself, to take my design skills to the next level.

I won’t lie, it took time and persistence to learn these skills. But in just a few years I’ve built a large reference library and growing portfolio of work, improved my ability to sketch multiple styles quickly, gained confidence in my lettering and illustration abilities, and pushed my conceptual thinking and writing skills.

And whether you’re new to hand lettering or a seasoned pro, you can benefit from these challenges, too.

Give them a try!

Each challenge focused on one or two skills, forcing me to become adept in that area before moving on to something new.

Lettering and typography are essential components of graphic design. Knowledge of these practices is indispensable, even for designers with no professional aspirations in either discipline. A typeface course or lettering workshop goes a surprisingly long way in helping to recognize well-made letters. In appreciating good lettering, it’s important that the artwork always fulfills its intended purpose. The letterforms should be suited to their environment and perform well in the ultimate application. While fashion may sometimes overshadow readability, the content must be legible while stylistically complementing the message. And the letters should be impeccably produced, even in cases where a deliberately naive appearance is desired.
