152 Lettering Examples To Inspire 🍬


Hi Reader!

Do you ever think about how ENDLESS lettering is?

There's always another tool, style, or technique to try.

Yet sometimes we all... get tired of the same old practice. Feel like we're just going through the motions. Want to feel that sense of excitement again.

So, we present... an ✨ inspiration database ✨

We dug through nearly 10 years of our calligraphy resources to pull examples spanning four main categories:

  1. Hand lettering
  2. Traditional calligraphy
  3. Modern calligraphy
  4. Digital lettering

Every style that you see ties back to more resources, either free or inside of Calligraphy Together, like:

  • Work-along videos
  • Worksheets
  • Examples
  • Courses

How to use the database: Scroll through the article like a kid in a candy shop 🍭

See which style catches your eye the most, and incorporate an element of that style into your practice this week.

If you’ve ever practiced your calligraphy and thought: My letters look good, but how do I turn this into something "finished"? You’re not alone! Creating a composition is more challenging than simply writing letters and words. With letters, you have a clear structure to follow. But with layouts, you have endless possibilities. To make it feel less overwhelming, we created a simple, repeatable process you can use with any quote. If your lettering looks good on practice sheets, but you’re not...
