At the heart of the book are hundreds of examples, presented in creative themes: "Scrawl" ; "Scratch" ; "Script" ; "Simulate" ; "Shadow" ; "Suggestive" ; and "Sarcastic" .
In an age of digital typography, Handwritten returns to the values of craft. This outstanding collection of unusual, meticulously wrought, and often breathtaking pieces is a must for students and practitioners of design.
