Hand-drawn lettering

[seireyho]

The house book is so inspiring. They've got all their sketchbook stuff in the back.

there is a book out called Hand Job, it has a lot of loose rough hand lettering styles in it. It's sort of a trend right now. There are some really fun examples of the style in there.

looks cool actually.
interesting title!

[danstiles]

yes, that one. It's a really fun book. A lot of "so bad it's good" type lettering and other cool hand drawn things.

I've got some Dover ARt Nouveau font books that I usually bastardize my letters from.

Just look around at good fonts and stretch, curl, and twist the letters until you like 'em.

Look up Dover books on Amazon and see if there's one you like.
