Q & A
This episode features a question that got asked in the Hand Lettering HQ Facebook group I manage a few weeks back. The question was in reference to a piece of hand lettered work shared in the group, I thought it would be a good opportunity to talk about the differences between hand lettering, fonts and typography in this episode.
The group member asked
What font is this?
