Adventures in Lettering by Dawn Nicole Warnaar

Q: What inspired you to get into typography, illustration, and hand-lettering?ĭuring my time at Sessions College, several of my instructors said I had a knack for mixing typography styles and that was just the bit of encouragement I needed to really fall in love with type. I’m really excited about this book since it’s almost exclusively on the art of lettering! I know a lot of schools have quit teaching penmanship and cursive, which is something I find incredibly sad, so I really hope this book inspires kids to practice lettering and opens their eyes to the ways you can make a career out of it.
