Purposeful choice in lettering can help convey meaning beyond just the written words. Letters can be made with straight lines, curvy lines, be wildly embellished, adorned with leaves and flowers, made to attract a child's fancy, or to invite you in. They can be made to sell coffee, baked goods, and sandwiches, or embellish stories and personal messages. There is so much to say, and with the 67 fonts in this book, you'll have inspiration at your fingertips for whatever message you want to send. The first chapter introduces the tools and materials that will help with your success. Then techniques for different writing implements are shown, and the different fonts show you in clear steps how to make each. Finally, the last chapter shows you how to set your type, creating letters of the same size, spaced evenly, and in the space allotted.
