Letters and fonts not only transport information but also convey a feeling and have a
personality. Type in its artistic diversity has the potential to release energies to inspire
and to tell stories through harmony or distortion. Words become drawings and images that
stimulate the imagination and open up spaces beyond information. From the success of the
Yearbook of Type concept Slanted Publishers has has developed a new book series: The Yearbook
of Lettering. The first volume presents a selection of lettering artwork from around the world
- from traditional calligraphy and handlettering to street art and graffiti - and shows the
wide range of different styles and techniques. The book offers an overview of high-quality
handmade typographic art with an extensive glossary of lettering artists. A source of
inspiration for anyone interested in lettering and hand-crafted typographic art not just
lettering artists.
