Calligraphy in all its forms is making a comeback, part of the same handmade movement that has millions of us sewing, crafting, gardening and creating anything else we can get our hands on. After many years spent pouring over fonts, enamored by what my computer is able to do, lately I’ve returned to hand-lettering signs for a few projects. I may just give my computer a break for a while. Heaven knows I need the work more than that machine does.
