Jessicahische.is Website Review

Jessica Hische is a lettering artist and author with a tendency to overshare and a penchant for procrastiworking. It’s a beautiful bedtime book with playful illustrations (loads of illustrative lettering!) and an inspiring message. Available now for mailings about noteworthy professional and personal news, sales in my shop, new print & pin releases, design and lettering events, and so “The perfect gateway drug to the world of lettering and type.” Is there any greater thrill than a peek behind the curtain to see how a great magician’s tricks are really done? Jessica Hische provides that peek, and anyone who cares about drawing, lettering, or—dare I say—the power of the written word will be absolutely enthralled with Unlike most focused type and lettering books, Jessica covers a very broad range of topics in very approachable terms. From formal models of letter construction and serif structure all the way through software suggestions, vector drafting, and decorative shading. It functions as a perfect gateway drug to the world of lettering and type, building a solid foundation by addressing the biggest real-world issues. Plus, it’s just da*n nice to look at. — NICK SHERMAN
