Observations: Hand Lettering

One thing I love about design is how flexible and unique it can be. What better way to represent that than in hand lettering. It's as one-of-a-kind as a fingerprint or snowflake. And to top it off it has such a genuine feel to it. Even a mysteriousness like meeting a person for the first time. Whenever I come across hand lettering my inclination is: "I'm not sure who you are, but I like you!"

Take Nate Williams' work for example:

A favorite of mine is Jessica Hische:

Definitely inspired to try hand lettering in the future.*

*Mental note: If you can't find or can't purchase a typeface you like - make your own!
