Scripted

Custom Lettering in Graphic Design

Shaoqiang Wang

After decades of using software as their exclusive work tool, graphic designers today are re-discovering the creative and expressive power of handmade letters: lettering has a distinctive visual and physical effect, and provides endless possibilities of expressing ideas through a more artful use of type, texture and volume. This results in more personal, timeless effects and a richer aesthetic experience.

"Scripted" collects a wide diversity of proposals produced by graphic designers and typographers from around the world using custom lettering.
