Lettering & calligraphy

Lisa Quine, known for her breathtaking, hand-lettered murals and dazzling vintage-style fonts shows readers the easy way to create unique hand-drawn typefaces. Hand lettering has exploded in popularity, whether displayed online, used for signage and branding, or in personal art, and vintage lettering openings up a world of possibilities. Readers learn Art Deco and Art Nouveau style fonts, how to add Victorian flourishes, and how to incorporate florals into their letters.

Lisa breaks down each font, no matter how elaborate, and makes it approachable for readers of all levels by starting simple and adding variations and embellishments step-by-step. Readers can practice directly on the special art paper as they work through the book. At the end of each chapter, readers create a beautiful hand-lettered composition, incorporating everything they've learned into an inspiring hand lettered quote, complete with illustrated embellishments. Lisa's amazing artwork will inspire readers to use their lettering skills to make posters, cards, gift tags or other custom hand lettered pieces for any occasion.

This book will have 20 illustrated projects.
