Hand Lettering
Hand Lettering for the mind and soul...
Hand lettering means that you stop writing your letters or words as a whole. Yes, you read right. No more writing. It’s
called drawing from now on. You will draw every single line of a letter. Sooner or later you will start thinking in strokes.
The art of beautiful writing has its origin in calligraphy. Even back then, the line between writing and drawing was
blurred.
Especially in the digital world, handmade products are becoming popular again – a new revolution. People want to express
their own individuality again and are not satisfied with something mass produced off the assembly line. This is why, in
addition to the DIY (do-it-yourself) trend, hand lettering is also playing an increasingly
important role in our daily lives. Today we can find many postcards, bags, and advertising signs with handwritten
elements.
Hand lettering is also about slowing down in our fast-paced world. It takes time and practice. You have to fully
concentrate on your artwork and forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The written word becomes a work of art,
the writing itself becomes art. You can only achieve your own personal perfection with calm, patience, and focus.
Since there are endless variations and styles, the search for your own style is also a form of self-discovery. The
advantage? – There is no right or wrong. Without firm rules, perfection lies in the eye of the beholder. Hand lettering
is suitable for everyone and anyone can learn it. And you don’t need to have fine penmanship! As is the case in many
other fields, practice is the key to success. Line by line, you work your way to perfection.
