A Month (or so) in Type Pictures
As usual our Instagram feed has featured a wide variety of type, lettering and calligraphy, exploring the various trends and historical material that may be inspirational. Here’s a short round-up:
Picture Credits (rows, top down):

- And finally, I’m excited to announce that I’ve been granted permission to reproduce Reynolds Stone’s #calligraphy & #engravings for a blog post. RS (1909-1979) is among the giants of British visual heritage though many may not have heard of him. More to follow.
