Lettering is 'the act, art or process of inscribing or writing words on something'. And it is also just awesome. If you create your own or find awesome ones out in the wild, throw them up and let it be ridiculed or revered!
Lettering is ‘the act, art or process of inscribing or writing words on something.’ And it is also just awesome.
The world of Lettering revolves around and includes (but is not limited to) Calligraphy, Handwriting, Hand styles, Typography, and can even extend from Graffiti/Wildstyle/Tagging all the way to Graphic/Layout Design. Just have fun with it. :)
If you create your own or find awesome work out in the wild, throw them up and let it be ridiculed or revered! It doesn’t have to be fancy or perfect, but if you’re a copy/type/font/character addict, then let it be known!

Could I get a critique on this logo? (Saer) Im struggling as it looks like it’s falling over if that makes sense. Any other thoughts or ideas will be appreciated too!

Looking for a font or script with this J or similar. It was copied from a book several years ago. I think the gothic une are from a different set.

Strange question; any programs that can help me align a BUNCH of words onto a river rock?
I was wanting to hand paint specific paragraphs from novels onto rocks. I guess a combination of lettering, and rock painting. The text will be very small, from a distance ideally I want it to look like narrow stripes, but up close I want it to be obvious letters/words/phrases/paragraphs.
Does anyone happen to know if there's some kind of program I can use online to properly align the paragraph on the rock's general shape so I know where/how to start actually lettering it on there. I want it to be symmetrical as much as possible so all the words fit onto the space, but zero clue where to start on how to figure out how to align the words.
Hopefully that made sense and someone knows what I'm trying to ask. lol. Very new to this, so Googling what I need has been difficult since I'm not entirely sure what I should be asking for keyword wise.

Chalkboard Menu
How much should I charge to re-do a chalkboard menu for a cafe? The size is 2 x 4 feet.
The last picture is just my previous work for another cafe.

Carpenter Pencil
I love practicing with a pencil, and when I looked down on the shelf beneath the coffee table, I saw my husband's carpenter pencil. It's now my carpenter pencil. I'm about to go get myself 20 of these 😅

What is this character? It is in Fraktur. What does it mean? All I know is that it isn’t a 2, an S, or a Z.
