Favorite Books for Lovers of Type and Lettering

September 05, 2013

My favorite shelf on my studio bookcase is the one with all of my books about lettering, script, and typography. It's so inspiring to see the variety of ways artists choose to represent words. 

Here's a round-up of my favorite books: 

Clockwise from top left: Sign Painters by Faythe Levine and Sam Macon / Creative Lettering by Jenny Dom / Scripts: Elegant Lettering from Design's Golden Age by Steven Heller / Typography Sketchbooks by Steven Heller and Lita Talarico / Little Book of Lettering by Emily Gregory / Elegantissima: The Design and Typography of Louise Fili by Louise Fili
