Are you ready to discover your own unique lettering style?

I have designed over 10 different lettering styles and have even created three of my own digital fonts. It is a lot of fun and can even be addictive once you learn a few key components for finding your own lettering style.

First, in this class you will learn 10 basic tips to designing your own hand lettered font. Then, I share five simple ways you can change your letters. You will also learn how to use grid paper to practice your lettering styles and finally we will cover 10 additional ideas you can integrate to make your lettering stand out.

This class is a lot of fun and you will learn practical suggestions along the way.

By the end of the class, you will have a full page of different lettering styles for one letter. Plus, I share an app and an online tool you can use to create your own digital fonts once you have designed your lettering style.

Whether you use lettering for your own artwork, commissioned work, digital products, or simply inside your planner or journals; this is a class that will be a lot of fun. Plus, you don't need any special tools. You can simply use whatever pen and paper you have on hand.
