Great examples of typography: the art of letters

Calligraphy from everywhere

September 29th, 2016, 2:46 pm

You’d be surprised to see where and when you can use letters in a design. And you might also be surprised to discover that not only is it made to create words but it can also be a real artwork of its own. Therefore, calligraphy is everywhere! On the walls of buildings, in magazines and advertisements, on alcohol bottles and also… on a car!

Today, we want to show you lettering knows no boundaries and can be turned into a beautiful street art to symbolise a community’s spirit as well as an advert to promote a specific product! Enjoy!

    I’ve been looking for a good typography font to use when send snail mail letters. I’m looking for something very simple. For my use case, these fonts over do it.

    Hello Phil and thanks for your message.

    Indeed most of these fonts will be great in advertisement, to catch people’s attention, or simply as a way to express art. Indeed, you’re right, this isn’t for every use.

    Kind regards,
