What is hand lettering?

Hand lettering stands for the art of writing - which means that in hand lettering, letters are written by hand. Unlike in everyday writing, in hand lettering each letter is drawn artfully. There are different hand lettering alphabets and therefore also various hand lettering fonts. Depending on the chosen font, the artwork looks different: elegant, minimalist or playful. At the artist's discretion, different hand lettering fonts are combined in one work of art. With a little practice, beginners in hand lettering quickly learn which fonts harmonize well in combination. For example, minimalist fonts are combined with particularly sweeping hand lettering alphabets.
