Lettering by hand and hand type - resources and examples
Hand made illustration and graphic design is in fashion. Many books have been published in recent years celebrating the hand crafted illustration and its quality. The revival of the hand work spread also to lettering, the invention of handwritten fonts or type.
Some of the young and famous designer/illustrators make the difference and stand out from the crowd by their hand lettering works as Jessia Hische for example. We see and consume a lot of fonts without digesting it much. Hand letters with the often quirky or ornamented shapes make us slow down and take a closer look. This might be one of the reasons for the revival of hand lettering as it is a type that gets extra attention.
This lens contains a growing link collection to great hand type and their creators. Videos help to understand how some skilled people do amazing hand lettering with a brush or other tools. The twitter and blog feeds provide the latest blurbs about hand lettering and hand type.
