Language of lettering

Alphabets are usually linked with a standard of letters. This makes them useful for purposes of collation, sorted in a specific order, known as the alphabetical order.

Term Alphabets are useful for reading and writing.

Types of alphabet for example – small letters, capital letters, cursive letters, printable letters.

Before you start with Hand lettering you should do some stretch outs or meditate for 15 -20 minutes. Then you start with your project. Practice lettering as it gives you the freedom to think 💬 about what you want to write and in which style and pattern. One should be very much patient with whatever you decide to do for this case writing font letters or  words. Take your own time and then as you jot down every alphabet you should ask yourself what you want to do next and why. Then the response will result in good hand lettering. When you have chosen a phrase or a word take a tracing paper and write that particular font. Once you have sketched a good picture preferably with a mechanical pencil and blend that with a Black microtip pen then start manouvering your hand accordingly to its shape. When you finish the whole word you again step back and observe the writing. You will again practice this on a special card sample or a paper sample. You can use watercolor as a medium and a Brush pen to make it a bit colorful. My favorite is drawing a Whimsical pot or a geometric shapes for a background. Then choose a word 'Curly'. Pick which direction you want your light source to come from. Highlight with a marker or a pen. Then use a blending stub. You see a word standing out as though it is embossed. As an option you can draw the curly image adding that to the background.

𝕎𝕆ℕ𝔻𝔼ℝ𝔽𝕌𝕃 lettering gives you the feeling of expression of thoughts or ideas.

In this font not only expresses the words but also draws the attention to the images  'Orange'🍊 and 'Lemonade'🍋. Just let us say that it is an advertisement for a drink.  The spicyness of the product comes to your mind and then you as a customer go in a store to grab the special deal. 

The above print is a great example of the power of typography of advertisement. Where the contrast color yellow to the darker orange of a font actually drives the customer and the consumer in for buying that product.

One thing is sure advertisement tells the reader what tone of voice to read the message in.
