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 β€˜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.

FUN FACT:the letter M is NOT a double N, Its actually r and n. You'll see it when you write r and n really close to eachother

What are these initials?

Engraved in late 1800s in the U.S. it looks like L. M. __. D. I'm not sure about the third letter, what are your thoughts?

Thank you!

My apologies

Yesterday I created a post about a stylized letter S. I clearly went about it all wrong and I apologize to this community for that, I’ve since removed it.
I appreciate the feedback as I will learn from my mistake. I greatly admire and appreciate the talents you all have, my grandfather was a calligrapher and I was fortunate enough to receive one of his framed pieces.
Although my post came across as entitled I am far from it, I deliver Uber Eats 8 hours a day and work on jewelry when I can. I again apologize and learned something more valuable than what I came here for in the first place. Have a blessed weekend all. -Cliff

For Skyrim fans

My husband asked me to make him something cool when we first started dating. I had never played Skyrim before but it was fun to recreate the font by hand. Done with Micron pens and silver Speedball ink.

Unfortunately the original is lost. I'm considering making a new one. Any suggestions from other Elder Scrolls fans?

Here are 26 of my favorite things. =) And for the steadfast few who always comment that you can't read what I write "because of all the loopty swirls n junk", allow me to save us both some time by letting letting you know now that this is the alphabet. All good? Ok good. Lol
