Hi Max, thanks for the incredible amount of effort you put into your articles. Your writing connects with me because it’s real.
Your first two issues, especially the part about negative space between letters, answered more questions for me than several decades of calligraphy books.
Great teaching the eye to look for inconsistencies, plus an opportunity to have your work critiqued. It’ll be hard to outdo this issue!
A note from Max
“I’ve been running Lettering Daily for years. I love a good short video — but there’s craft knowledge that simply doesn’t fit in fifteen seconds. So I went back to the format I grew up on — a proper magazine you sit down with. That’s Lettering Weekly.”
