Inspiration and Lettering

Think, write, draw, create...

Unlike most books on lettering and typeface design, this book tackles the how and why in an accessible way, from formal models of letter construction and serif structures to software approaches, vector drawings and decorative shading. It is the perfect gateway to the world of typographic art, and provides a solid foundation for the reader to create their own projects.

The author presents her sketchbooks as an inspirational tool: her whimsical and ingenious personal projects, her fascinating magazine and book covers, her entertaining editorial work, her magical film titles or even her first pencil sketches.

This book will undoubtedly change the way you approach lettering and type design projects. Through its step-by-step instructions, you will learn how to draw various typefaces and turn those sketches into a finished vector artwork that will please even the most judicious typography freaks.

Foreword by Louise Fili, icon of 20th century graphic design.
