This article was extremely inspiring. I have always loved beautiful lettering with decorative flourishes and calligraphic elements. I am excited to begin practicing some hand lettering of my own. I was really drawn to the very decorative script-like hand lettering examples. Jessica Hische has been someone that I have followed for about a year now because she is such an accomplished letterer. I also really love Louise Fili's work.

I was really drawn to this hand lettered logotype because it reminded me of my own lettering. It was really in my comfort zone and felt like something that I could use as inspiration when practicing my own lettering. I love that it stays true to its x-height and that it creates a curved baseline for you eye to follow. It is very uniform and elegant and definitely serves its purpose. It feels very human.

It was impossible to choose just one to post! I recently learned about ligatures in class and have kind of developed an obsession. I love how simple and beautiful they are. This one especially is just so fluid. The way that the letters terminals connect is genius! This post originated from the ID blog (identity designed), which I have also recently started following.

I LOVED everything that Simon Walker had in his portfolio. Sophisticated lettering with grunge textures are my absolute favorite. This one was also. Please send cheese, haha.
