An art like no others!

Januar 21st, 2015, 11:40 am

Hand lettering is a millennial art. Since people can write, every civilization, from west to east, started to add its own style to what they were writing. Some of them were so beautiful, intricate and elegant they would easily be considered as masterpieces of art.

Today, we wanted to have a closer look at this very special type of design and come back to its traditional way: by using a pen. Can you imagine how steady the artist must be as those letters mustn’t show any signs of shaking?

We hope these 20 handwritten examples from different countries and style that will leave you eager to see more! Enjoy!
