Master 20 creative lettering projects from invitations to tote bags
Personalized invitations that stand out, decorative signs that catch attention, customized tote bags people actually want to carry. Joanna Munoz and Brooke Robinson structure this guide around practical techniques you'll use immediately, proper pen angles, consistent stroke pressure, spacing that creates rhythm rather than awkwardness. Eight complete alphabets provide starting points for developing your own style, from classic serif forms to contemporary brush scripts.
The step-by-step approach builds skills progressively. Early projects focus on fundamental strokes and letter construction; later ones combine techniques into finished pieces. You learn how letterforms work together, how to maintain consistency across words, and how to adapt styles for different surfaces and purposes. Each project includes materials lists and clear instructions that assume you're starting from scratch.
At 132 pages in an 8.5x11 format, this paperback provides workspace for practice alongside instruction. The generous size accommodates full-alphabet samples and project templates you can reference while working. Whether you're addressing wedding invitations or creating custom gifts, these techniques translate directly from practice exercises to finished work that reflects genuine hand-lettered quality rather than attempting to mimic printed fonts.
