11 Female hand letterers to follow on Twitter
Pin for later
Hand lettering and typography fanatics: here is a list of inspiring female letterers to follow on Twitter.
As a follow up to my posts on letterers to follow on Instagram, I wanted to share a list of amazingly talented female letterers to follow on Twitter. While you can follow these ladies via other networks, the binding ingredient a findable Twitter account, so there you have it. Plus, Twitter is my favorite.
Hand lettering males - I promise to do a less gender-discriminatory post next time.
Jessica Hische
I don't need to do a lot of explaining here. As Jessica Hische's URL suggests, she is awesome and is easily the most well known letterer in general. Let me drop a trying-to-play-it-cool mention and say that I met her in Paris. No big deal (!!!!!!!!!).
Jill De Haan
Jill's beautiful work features calligraphic inspiration a hand-sketched feel. I first discovered her work on Behance, where her Washingtonian Magazine feature of Where Foodies Shop was laid out, panel by panel.
Allison Cruzado
Allison is based in New York. Her day job is Graphic Designer at Birchbox. How cool is that? Her lettering work features a lot of cool 3D-esque script.
Marlene Silveira
Marlene, based in Toronto, is a designer, illustrator and letterer extraordinaire. Her illustration works on Reunion Island Coffee Ltd's coffee brewing guide as well as her logo work really stand out to me.
Mary Kate McDevitt
Mary Kate is undoubtedly most known for her book, Hand Lettering Ledger. Her work is fun, quirky, colorful, and inspiring.
Jen Mussari
Jen's featured Squarespace portfolio may have been the reason I switched from WordPress to Squarespace. I love her brush-y and bold lettering designs.
Heather Diane Hardison
Heather is an illustrator and sign painter, also the author and illustrator of Homegrown: Illustrated Bites, Garden To Table (available to purchase April 2015). Shown here is her illustration for Uppercase Magazine's 2013 Work/Life book.
Lauren Hom
Lauren Hom's book, Daily Dishonesty, can be spotted in your local Urban Outfitters (and can also be purchased on Amazon). It's a collection of hilarious "facts" of life, one of my favorites being "Cake is mostly air".
Cyla Costa
Cyla has a lot of beautiful lettering styles in her repertoire and is also a graphic designer and illustrator.
Amber Garner
Amber is an awesome lady in DC who also somewhat doesn't believe in vowels (most of her monkiers across the web are ambrgarnr). Her work on Parental Proverbs is beautiful and hilarious, and I see this as a book one day!
Honorable Mention: Iskra Johnson
Iskra is one of those super talented artists who is so cool and so old school that she doesn't really have an online presence. Too bad, because her work is so inspiring! At least she's on Behance.
