Letter the Rainbow – Lettering Love

Welcome to our very first Lettering Love post! In these posts, we’ll be sharing some incredible, inspiring lettering and calligraphy.

As a calligraphy newbie myself, I’ve become obsessed with scouring the web for amazing typography, calligraphy, and modern lettering artwork. I love discovering new techniques and styles. There are so many talented letterers out there! I try to study the details on each piece so that I can incorporate them into my own work and help myself improve.

So, to start off the Lettering Love post series, I wanted to share a few of my favorite designs featuring bold, bright colors and rainbows.
