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.As an update of the original release in 2017 the
?Handstyle Lettering' 2021 edition rereleased in conjunction with Victionary's 20th anniversary
is a delightful showcase of artwork from around the world that are anything but unvaried. With
an additional selection of new projects the book also features insightful interviews from the
best calligraphers as well as an expanded beginner-friendly guide practice area.
