TYPOGRAPHY

Letters and typefaces not only transport information, but create a feeling, have a personality. Lettering takes this even a step further—with its movement, artistic strokes, and variety, it has the potential to radiate a whole range of energies, tell stories of harmony and distortion, about positive and negative space. Words become drawings and pictures themselves. Born out of the success of the concept of their Yearbook of Type, Slanted Publishers created a new book series: 'The Yearbook of Lettering'. It presents a selection of lettering artwork created all over the world – from traditional calligraphy and hand lettering to street art and graffiti, showcasing the vibrant and wide range of different styles and techniques. The book offers an overview over high-quality hand-crafted typographic art and can help source the right artist for a project.
