HAND-GUT / hand lettering book

HAND - GUT
 
free work //  the whole book deals with the - almost forgotten - treasure of hand lettering and writing.
it's definitely a project from the bottom of my heart. because hand lettering means a lot to me;
in every free second, I'm trying to create some handwritten or calligraphic work.
a piece of paperand a good pencil - I often don't need anything else.
 
with this book, I'm trying to commemorate the pleasure of handwriting.

the book consists of my own, personal works. everything is handmade, then photographed or scanned.
no matter what kind of works - quick scribbles, conceptual, arranged or spontaneous
ones
- I wanted to show the different ways of my hand lettered stuff.
I separated them in different chapters; every chapter starts with an opening text
in which I describe my feelings, impressions or my intuition of the following pages.
 
the pictures below just give you a small insight of the 152 pages of my book.
 
 
some facts about the book: 152 pages / hardcover / 192 x 251 mm / stichbinding / 130 g/m2 römerturm paper
