Lettering by hand

Lately I’ve really been getting into hand lettering. I’m totally inspired by Marian Bantjes, Linzie Hunter and Chris Piascik amongst a few others. For a long time I’ve felt either overwhelmed or just flat out imprisoned by computer fonts, so I’m enjoying the freedom of shaping my own words.

These are a few of my recent favourites from the Hand Drawn Type pool on flickr.


I could study Chris Piascik‘s letter forms all day – his ability to form unique letters knows no bounds!


Linzie Hunter‘s darling work! This is my favourite, because it’s totally girly and completely appropriate to the subject.
