"Brings back fun into your old-fashioned writing. This 160-page book shows you many unique, very creative fonts you can learn to draw on your own. There are even special pages with grids for you to try your hand at duplicating the alphabets they show... I so appreciate that the font samples, which range from very simple to quite intricate, are large enough to really show you the detail. Plus each one has a clever name like Control Chaos, Knit, Skinny Fringe and Spaghetti Junction... whether you're like me and just want to keep hand lettering alive and learn creative new ways to do it, or you truly want to design your own original fonts for your work, this book will surely inspire you." -- Good Reads with Ronna
"Whether you have always been designing through hand-drawn illustrations or are a designer of the computer age, Draw Your Own Alphabets is a great place for you to expand your lettering techniques." -- Complex.com
