For some time in the distant past hand-lettering used to be a highly-regarded skill to master
and was ubiquitous via publications and public signages. Although society relies heavily on
keyboards and screens for communication today a growing number of creative practitioners have
been busy reviving the seemingly-lost art in recent years in a bid to return the sincerity and
warmth of the human touch to our predominantly digital lives. Brimming with character
hand-lettering serves as the bridge between old-school calligraphy and modern typography to
bring nuance back into an age of uniformity. Rereleased in conjunction with Victionary's 20th
anniversary the 2021 boxset edition of ?Handstyle Lettering' comes with a beginner-friendly
calligraphy pen-and-nib set crafted by renowned British companies Manuscript and D. Leonardt &
Co. which--coupled with new projects interviews and an expanded step-by-step guide--serves to
help aspiring creatives kickstart their hand-lettering journey.
