One line across the page forming letters. Nothing more than that. Sometimes it’s the simple things that are the most beautiful?

FBWL, Hand Style #13
By Daniel V. Licht (@thedvl) Hand Style by Sabrina Parada
Today we have a guest handstyler (like that … just made it up). Zemoga Art/UX Director Sabrina Parada. Here’s what she has to say about her wicked fancy script work.
“I like doodling around with ornaments and letters, trying to do stylish delicate forms. Retro style too comes as an inspiration, so I tried to put a little in the linear “shading” of the letters. From a distance it reads like “flower”, but not quite, so when you look at it for the second time, then you see the actual letters from FBWL. I think you don’t need to read what is says because the forms make it look good from any angle.” Take that flat, modern, computer fonts!!!
Have a great day and check back again when your’s truly will once again lay down they pen to paper for your enjoyment.

Due to the holiday we will not be posting any hand styles for the next 2 days. Check back Monday for an all new post, by a guest artist… oooooohhhh!

It’s a monday afternoon and the day has been filled with many meetings & calls, but I got to see a post on Erik Speikermann’s blog and it sorta inspired today’s Hand Style. While Mr. Spiekermann has gone on the record on his feelings towards Helvetica, he is the creator of some of the greatest sans serifs. So heres a thick, hatched, sans for Mr. Spiekermann.
