Your hand lettering contains a little bit of you! It expresses what you have to say, and demonstrates your creativity in all your communications.In Hand Lettering A to Z, artist and author Abbey Sy has invited four international artists-Meg Hyland, Joao Neves, Tessa Go, and Lisa Lorek-to join her in designing all new alphabets for you to draw and use in many different languages.
You don't have to be a trained artist to master the art of hand lettering. These alphabets are for every skill level, and will suit any taste: colorful, or black and white, classic or just plain fun. It's all about getting creative with the twenty-six letters and a little bit of you.
