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!
Please message the moderators if you have any questions, concerns, or ideas.

Hello~ Spring!!
The word " Kyungchip" is used to signify the coming of spring in Korea.
Kyungchip is the day when the frozen ground melts during the winter and the frog that hibernates rises above the ground.
This is good news for the arrival of spring🌸 Happy Kyungchip!! & Welcome Spring~🌷🐸🥰
