Publisher's Synopsis
Within the world of graphic design, lettering has a powerful illustrative role to play. Words, phrases or numbers can all be used to lend a unique visual personality to a message. After decades of exclusively using software when working with typography, graphic designers today are rediscovering the creative and expressive power of handmade letters. Lettering has a distinctive visual and physical effect, and it provides endless possibilities for expressing ideas through a more artful use of type, texture and volume. The end results are more personal, timeless effects and a richer aesthetic experience. Scripted brings together a wide range of custom lettering projects produced by graphic designers and typographers from around the world.
