"The Lettering Seminar is like a university course, it's an honor to learn from one of the best in the lettering world!"

This 8-week seminar is the equivalent of an elite university education in hand lettering. Get a complete, immersive experience into the heart of the Craft & Business of Lettering Design.

The Entire Roadmap for Professional Lettering Design

Embarking on the path to becoming a skilled lettering designer can feel overwhelming. Many creatives struggle not because they lack talent — but because they lack structure.

With so many techniques, styles, and tools available, it’s hard to know what to focus on next. You practice, you experiment, you try new approaches — but progress can feel inconsistent.

And when your goal is to move from experimenting with lettering to producing professional-level work, the gap becomes even more visible.

Building work you’re truly proud to put your name on requires more than inspiration. It requires progression, feedback, and a clear path forward.

The good news? There’s never been a better time to specialize in lettering design. When your craft becomes strong, you can start getting paid for your work — and open real opportunities.

Creating work you’re proud of changes how you see yourself as a designer and creative. Getting paid for that work can change your career and life.

And the best part?
You don’t have to figure it all out on your own anymore

Set Yourself Apart. Craft Artwork You're Truly Proud Of.

We are no longer in the early days of lettering.

Lettering design is now an established expertise. It’s everywhere — on the streets, in the products we use, in the brands we trust, and in the apps we open daily.

And in a world increasingly populated by templates, automation, and sameness, custom work stands out more than ever.

Brands and organizations understand that distinctive letterforms shape identity, tell stories, and influence perception. They’re not looking for generic solutions.

They’re looking for designers who can think, craft, and execute with precision.

Lettering designers play a crucial role in shaping messages that cut through noise and connect effectively with audiences.

New technologies and tools are evolving quickly. But tools don’t replace craft — they amplify it. When your foundations are strong, you can use any tool to elevate your work to a professional level.

It begins with learning the craft and producing the exceptional work you know you’re capable of.

“I stopped jumping between resources and finally had a clear structure to follow.”

Say Goodbye to Generic Design Jobs that Drain Your Creativity

In a digital world filled with uniformity and impersonal designs, custom lettering design offers a way to bring authorship back into your work. Move beyond executing pre-defined layouts and develop a skill that allows you to shape the message itself.

The path forward isn’t about escaping design — it’s about deepening your craft, understanding how lettering functions in real-world applications, and joining a community of creatives committed to doing better work.

1. Turn your lettering expertise into a paid service, and watch your skill open real opportunities.

2. Develop a portfolio that positions you professionally, and feel confident putting your name on your work.

3. Design a career with more authorship and autonomy — where you choose projects that truly reflect your voice.

With over 15 years of experience working as a lettering designer and helping others do the same, I’ve developed a structured approach to learning that removes guesswork and accelerates real progress.

One that enables you to create work you’re proud to sign and build a sustainable creative career around it.

Hi there!
I'm Martina Flor

AWARD-WINNING LETTERING ARTIST, AUTHOR AND EDUCATOR.

Since 2010, I’ve worked with thousands of designers & creatives worldwide — through courses, workshops, books, and mentoring.

Back when I started +15 years ago, there wasn’t a clear, structured way to learn lettering design. There was no dedicated program, no roadmap, just scattered resources and a lot of trial and error.

If you wanted to take lettering seriously, you had to piece everything together on your own.

I navigated that path myself, refining my skills, studying letterforms deeply, and gradually building a professional career around the craft.

After more than 15 years working professionally in lettering design, I’ve taken on a clear mission: to make high-level lettering education structured, accessible, and grounded in real-world practice.

Everything I’ve learned through global client work, publishing, and mentoring thousands of designers is distilled into a program built to accelerate your development.

FEATURED IN

Learn Directly from a Bestselling Author

I’m the author of The Golden Secrets of Lettering, published worldwide in six languages and used by tens of thousands of designers and creatives around the globe as a foundational resource for understanding letterforms.

The Lettering Seminar™ gives you the opportunity to go beyond the pages and learn directly from me — applying those principles in a structured, guided progression.

Over the years, I have seen the need for a better process to learn lettering design. One that builds confidence through skill, deepens your understanding of the craft, and prepares you for professional application.

A Comprehensive Education in the Craft and Business of Lettering

After years of working with thousands of lettering designers through workshops, online classes, and mentoring programs, I understand what helps creatives move forward and make progress.

The Lettering Seminar™ brings together everything I’ve learned about developing strong craft, building professional-level work, and navigating the industry with confidence — so you can make real progress faster, with guidance, and without the overwhelm.

This program is designed to ensure you leave with the skills, structure, and practical understanding needed to pursue meaningful paid opportunities in lettering design.

Hundreds of students have completed the program and strengthened both their craft and their professional positioning.

Wherever You’re Starting, There’s a Clear Next Step

MEET ANDREEA

“I stopped feeling lost and finally found direction and confidence in my work!”

Andreea, a graphic designer based in Romania, felt disconnected from the creative side of her work and missed the joy of illustration. After discovering lettering, she tried to learn through different courses and resources, but quickly became overwhelmed by the amount of information and lack of structure.

Everything changed when she joined Martina’s Lettering Seminar. The program provided a clear, step-by-step path that helped her focus on what truly matters, build strong fundamentals, and gain confidence in her skills. She also found a supportive community where she could share her work, receive feedback, and grow alongside other creatives.

MEET JUANMA

“It was a game changer—I started enjoying and trusting the process again.”

Juanma, a freelance graphic designer from Buenos Aires, had always loved lettering but needed direction to take it seriously.

After joining Martina’s Lettering Seminar, he improved his skills, gained confidence, and reconnected with the joy of drawing letters. The structure and supportive community helped him grow quickly.

By the end of the Seminar, he was not only more confident in his work, but also started landing paid lettering projects.

MEET TARA

“I challenged myself and created lettering work I never thought I could do!”

Tara, a graphic designer and illustrator with over 2o years of experience, wanted to deepen her skills in typography and lettering but hadn’t found a program with clear structure and depth.

After joining Martina’s Lettering Seminar, she developed a new way of understanding typography and pushed her creative limits. The live sessions and supportive community helped her feel encouraged throughout the process.

By the end of the Seminar, Tara created work she never imagined doing and gained a renewed excitement for her creative journey.

MEET RAN KEREN

“I became faster, more confident, and more intentional with my work.”

Ran, a returning student of The Lettering Seminar, joined again to refine his skills and deepen his understanding of lettering.

Revisiting the fundamentals helped him work more efficiently, spot mistakes faster, and experiment with more confidence. The mix of practice, theory, and feedback made the experience even more valuable.

By the end of the Seminar, he saw clear progress in both his skills and creative process.

MEET ORSI

“Martina gave me a strong structure in my work process, creating a system and workflow.”

Orsi is a graphic designer originally from Hungary, now based in Denmark. After a three-year hiatus from design, she returned to the craft with renewed focus.

The Lettering Seminar™ helped her rebuild her workflow with clarity and structure. By developing a defined process, Orsi strengthened both her creative output and her professional confidence.

Today, she works as a graphic designer and lettering artist in Denmark.

 NEW SATELLITE MODULE

AI as a Creative Assistant for Lettering Designers

Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming part of the design landscape. For many creatives, this brings both curiosity and hesitation.

Inside The Lettering Seminar™, AI is not positioned as a shortcut — and never as a replacement for craft. It is introduced as a creative assistant.

A tool that can help you observe more precisely, explore variations more efficiently, organize ideas more clearly, and execute workflows with greater speed — without compromising authorship, taste, or control.

This satellite module runs alongside the core program, offering optional tools that support each stage of the lettering roadmap. You remain in charge of your process. AI simply expands what is possible within it.

You are free to incorporate these tools into your process — or not. But understanding them allows you to participate confidently in today’s design landscape.

Strong foundations come first.

AI simply expands what you can do with them.

How It Integrates

Rather than existing as a standalone lesson, the AI track connects directly to each module:

• Foundations → AI for visual analysis and observation

• Inspiration → AI for structured exploration without imitation

• Sketching → AI for composition support

• Digital Drawing → AI inside Illustrator workflows

• Portfolio & Client Work → AI for presentation and communication

• Entrepreneurship → AI for systems and efficiency

This ensures you learn how to integrate new tools responsibly — grounded in craft.

The final lesson focuses on authorship, ethics, and future-proofing your practice.

Because tools will continue to evolve.

But designers who understand structure, taste, and decision-making will always lead.

Created in partnership with Adobe.

The future of lettering design belongs to designers who master both craft and tools.

The Momentum session is designed to help you establish a sustainable rhythm for the weeks ahead. You’ll define priorities, organize your schedule effectively, and create a routine that supports steady progress.

Inside the Momentum Session

• Identify focused goals for the program
• Create realistic time blocks for practice
• Build resilience to maintain consistency during busy periods

Welcome Week ensures you don’t just start the program — you start it well.

Module 1 establishes the structural foundations of lettering design. You’ll develop a clear understanding of how letterforms are constructed, how they function, and why certain principles govern their form.

Strong lettering begins with structure. In this module, you build the visual and analytical skills required to design with intention rather than imitation.

Inside Module 1:

  • Understand the art of storytelling with letterforms, distinguishing it from related disciplines.
  • Discover the varied applications of your work, from book covers to objects and even TV spots, expanding your creative possibilities.
  • Go on a field trip during a “Typographic Eye” exercise, sharpening your observational skills as a lettering designer.
  • Study your surroundings and contribute to a shared inspiration archive from a global perspective.
  • Learn essential terminology to discuss your work with clarity and confidence.
  • Break down the structural “DNA” of letterforms so you can construct them independently.
  • Explore the foundational principles of calligraphy as the “Mother of All Letterforms” and how they inform lettering design.
  • Understand the logic behind main calligraphic tools like pointed nibs, flat nibs, and brushes, essential for every smart lettering designer.

By the end of this module, you’ll understand the structural logic behind letterforms and be able to design with greater precision, confidence, and control.

Module 1 sets the standard for how you will approach the rest of the program — grounded in structure, observation, and deliberate practice.

Module 2 focuses on expanding your creative vocabulary and developing a more defined stylistic direction.

You’ll learn how to look beyond social media feeds and search results, and instead build a reliable, personal reference library grounded in historical and contemporary sources. This allows you to draw inspiration without imitation, and apply it thoughtfully to your own work.

Inside Module 2:

  • Apply core principles of legibility to ensure your lettering communicates clearly and effectively.
  • Study foundational styles to build structural understanding that informs all stylistic exploration.
  • Introduce dimension using simple, repeatable frameworks.
  • Use your own handwriting as a base for developing functional and expressive script lettering.
  • Extend calligraphic principles into historical styles such as fraktur and brush lettering.
  • Modify structural features to develop distinctive variations and personal direction.
  • Explore decorative letterforms, including initials and drop caps, for editorial and branding applications.
  • Construct ribbon lettering using efficient methods suited for commercial and retail projects.

By the end of this module, you’ll approach stylistic exploration with greater control and discernment. Rather than copying trends, you’ll understand how to analyze, adapt, and apply inspiration in ways that strengthen your own voice.

Module 2 builds range — without sacrificing structure.

Module 3 focuses on building a structured and repeatable sketching process.

You’ll learn how to move from brief to concept to refined draft with clarity, establishing hierarchy, structure, and compositional balance before entering the digital phase.

This module strengthens your ability to think through form on paper — where strong lettering truly begins.

Inside Module 3:

  • Establish hierarchy and structure to ensure your lettering communicates clearly.
  • Integrate swashes and decorative elements while maintaining balance and legibility.
  • Define and interpret a creative brief to guide your design decisions.
  • Follow a structured sketching workflow that improves the quality of your work at every stage.
  • Explore variations systematically rather than relying on guesswork.
  • Refine a final sketch that is fully prepared for digitization.

By the end of this module, you’ll have a polished sketch, primed for digitization, and a systematic process that can be consistently applied to your work.

Module 3 turns sketching from a loose exploration into a deliberate design method.

In this module, you elevate your lettering work through precise digital execution. Inside Adobe Illustrator, you’ll deepen your understanding of vector drawing and learn efficient techniques that dramatically improve the quality of your letterforms.

You’ll master the extreme points technique and refine your curves with greater control and consistency — achieving clean, professional shapes while preserving the natural character of your hand-drawn sketches.

Inside Module 4:

  • Set up an optimized Illustrator workspace for efficient vector lettering workflows.
  • Master the extreme points technique to improve curve quality and structural clarity.
  • Preserve the natural character of your hand sketches while refining shapes digitally.
  • Develop thoughtful color systems inspired by real-world references.
  • Build a reusable library of textures and effects to enhance future projects.
  • Finalize and prepare artwork for portfolio presentation or professional delivery.

This module speaks to your inner perfectionist — the part of you that cares deeply about curve quality, spacing, balance, and detail.

You’ll gain the technical tools and understanding needed to refine your work with precision, without losing the character of your original sketches. With Adobe Illustrator fully integrated into your process, you’ll move confidently between analog and digital execution.

Module 4 strengthens your control over the final result — ensuring your work meets professional standards while still feeling distinctly yours.

Module 5 focuses on positioning your lettering skills in the marketplace.

You’ll learn how to develop strong portfolio pieces — even before securing paid client assignments — and present your work in a way that reflects professional standards.

This module helps you understand not only how to create strong work, but how to communicate its value. Gain insights into freelancing basics, setting up your initial infrastructure, handling financial aspects, and optimizing your workspace.

Inside Module 5:

  • Understand the strategic value of lettering in branding, publishing, and product design.
  • Build a portfolio that demonstrates your range, structure, and professional thinking.
  • Learn the fundamentals of freelancing, including project structure, client communication, and financial basics.
  • Develop effective outreach strategies and learn how to move from inquiry to completed assignment.
  • Price your work responsibly, with clarity and confidence.

By the end of this module, you’ll have a portfolio that positions you professionally, a clearer understanding of how to approach clients, and the tools to pursue meaningful paid opportunities.

Module 5 bridges craft and professional application.

Module 6 focuses on turning your lettering expertise into a structured and sustainable business.

You’ll learn how to position yourself clearly in the market, develop a distinctive professional identity, and communicate your value in a way that attracts aligned clients and opportunities.

This module helps you think beyond individual projects and build a practice designed for long-term growth.

Inside Module 6:

  • Develop a professional mindset that supports growth at different stages of your practice.
  • Build a clear and consistent brand identity that reflects your expertise.
  • Create thoughtful content and communication that attracts aligned clients and collaborators.
  • Use social platforms strategically — without relying on trends or constant output.

  • Implement structured productivity systems that protect both your time and your craft.
  • Develop financial awareness to track income, manage expenses, and make informed decisions.

By the end of this module, you’ll have a clearer professional direction and the foundational systems needed to support a sustainable lettering practice.

Module 6 ensures your growth is not accidental — but intentional and structured.

In this satellite module, you learn how to integrate AI into your lettering practice thoughtfully and professionally. Rather than replacing your craft, AI is positioned as a support layer — helping you think more broadly, analyze more deeply, and execute more efficiently while keeping your authorship and taste at the center.

You’ll develop a clear framework for when and how to use AI across the lettering roadmap — from research and inspiration to sketching, digital execution, presentation, and client communication. The focus is not automation, but amplification: using new tools to strengthen your judgment, not substitute it.

Inside the AI Module:

– Develop a professional framework for integrating AI into your lettering workflow.

– Use AI to sharpen observation and visual analysis, strengthening your typographic eye.

– Explore inspiration without imitation through structured research prompts.

– Support sketching and composition with idea expansion techniques.

– Integrate AI within your digital workflow to improve efficiency and precision.

– Enhance mockups, presentation materials, and portfolio storytelling.

– Apply AI strategically in client communication and value articulation.

– Understand authorship, ethics, and how to future-proof your practice.

This module speaks to the part of you that wants to stay relevant, informed, and in control as the design landscape evolves.

You’ll gain clarity on how AI fits into professional lettering practice — whether you choose to integrate it actively or simply understand its impact on the industry. With this knowledge, you’ll navigate emerging tools confidently, without compromising the integrity of your craft.

The AI module ensures that your expertise remains both deeply human and professionally current.

Why We Teach Vector-Based Lettering Design

There are many tools available for creating lettering, each with its own strengths. However, The Lettering Seminar primarily focuses on vector-based lettering design using Adobe Illustrator or a vector program of your choice—and here’s why:

INDUSTRY STANDARD
Most agencies, design studios, and brands use Adobe Illustrator as part of their toolset. It’s the widely accepted software in professional lettering work, ensuring that your designs are compatible with industry expectations.

VERSATILITY ACROSS PROJECTS
While you can create lettering in various programs, Illustrator allows you to produce artwork that is crisp, clean, and infinitely scalable—making it suitable for everything from large-scale billboards to intricate branding details.

• PREPARING YOU FOR PROFESSIONAL WORK
If you want to work as a lettering artist professionally, vector software is non-negotiable. Every experienced lettering designer uses Illustrator or a vector-based program at some stage of their process to refine, scale, and finalize their work.

•  ESSENTIAL FOR HIGH-PAID LETTERING APPLICATIONS
Some of the most lucrative applications of lettering—logotype design, packaging, branding, and advertising—require scalable artwork. Vector-based lettering ensures precision, flexibility, and adaptability, making it the go-to choice for client work.

We recognize that lettering artists use a variety of tools, and you may already have experience with raster-based programs like Photoshop or Procreate. The Lettering Seminar includes these tools and how they fit into the lettering design process.

Our primary focus remains on vector-based lettering, as it offers the most versatility and aligns with industry standards. By mastering this approach, you’ll be equipped with the skills needed to create professional, scalable, and high-impact lettering work. The Lettering Seminar will guide you every step of the way.

Enroll before Tuesday, March 31st at midnight ET to receive your complimentary access.

Turn Your Lettering Skills Into Real-World Applications

Create work that lives across brands, products, content, and environments — and opens the door to professional opportunities.

→ Branding & Identity

In branding, lettering shapes how a company sounds visually. A custom logotype allows a brand to move beyond generic type and create something recognizable and specific. It becomes a tool for differentiation — helping brands feel distinct rather than interchangeable.

→ Editorial & Media

In editorial work, lettering adds voice and tone to content. It guides attention, reinforces meaning, and turns information into something more engaging and memorable.

→ Digital & Content

In digital environments, lettering introduces distinction in a sea of repetition. It helps content feel authored rather than generated — bringing presence and personality to standard formats.

→ Products & Packaging

On packaging, lettering influences how a product is perceived at first glance. It can make something feel premium, approachable, or handcrafted — and plays a key role in standing out in competitive environments.

→ Spaces & Environments

In physical spaces, lettering becomes part of the experience — from signage to murals and installations. It shapes how people navigate and feel within a space.

→ Collections & Licensing

Lettering can also be developed into collections that live across products, platforms, and formats. Through licensing, your work can reach wider audiences and generate income beyond one-off client projects — creating long-term value from your designs.

And so much more…

Choose Your Path

Option 1

The Unstructured Route

You can approach lettering independently — exploring scattered tutorials, short-form videos, and disconnected resources.

Many designers and creatives do.

But without a clear progression, it’s easy to spend months experimenting without knowing what to focus on next. Growth can feel inconsistent, and confidence may fluctuate.

You’ll spend precious time, effort, and possibly a significant amount of money figuring it all out on your own.

Option 2

A Faster, Structured Professional Path

Or you can choose a guided framework.

The Lettering Seminar™ brings together craft, process, and professional application in a clear progression, condensing years of trial and error into a clear path so you can improve faster and avoid unnecessary frustration

Instead of guessing your next step, you move forward deliberately, supported by top instructors, feedback, and a community of designers committed to growth.

The choice is yours—between the long, unestructured option and the short, sure and proven path with The Lettering Seminar.

The Lettering Seminar™ Registration Period Closes April 7th, 11:59 PM ET

There is a specific reason the registration period for The Lettering Seminar™ is only available for a short period of time.

I like spending more time supporting my community than promoting. So like a college or university, enrollment is only open for a short period of time. Then we shift gears to focus our energy on teaching, supporting, and helping you make progress.

That’s why it’s important you know that the registration period ends at 11:59 pm ET on April 7th. Ensure to register before this time.

Frequently Asked Questions

We’ll be having an opening ceremony on Wednesday, April 15th, and from that point on, modules will unlock gradually as the course progresses. When you sign up for TLS 2026, you’ll be invited to synchronize a calendar with all live events and important dates so you have every experience on sight.

That said, attending live is not required. All sessions are recorded and available to watch anytime, so you can follow along from anywhere in the world and at your own pace.

You’ll still benefit from the full structure, guidance, and support — whether you join live or catch up on your own schedule.

You’ll have lifetime access to all course content and live session’s replays.

 

Yes. The program is designed to meet you where you’re at.

The program starts from the fundamentals and builds progressively toward more advanced applications. You’re not expected to know everything from the beginning — that’s exactly what the structure is designed for.

Each module guides you through a clear sequence, supported by demonstrations, feedback, and live sessions, so you can follow along and make steady progress without feeling overwhelmed.

Absolutely.

Many of our students come in with prior experience but feel stuck at a certain level. What they often lack is not practice — but the ability to evaluate, refine, and elevate their work.

Inside the program, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of letterforms, learn to diagnose your own work, and refine your process to reach a more professional level.

Most students begin to notice changes in how they approach their work within the first few weeks.

Because the program is structured, you’re not guessing what to practice next. You’re following a progression that helps you improve faster, with guidance and feedback along the way.

Progress looks different for everyone, but the goal is clear: to help you move forward with more direction, consistency, and confidence in your work.


 

he program is designed to be flexible while giving you a clear structure to follow.

If you’re going through the course live, we recommend dedicating around 4–6 hours per week — whether that’s spread across the week or focused into one or two sessions.

That said, you don’t have to keep up perfectly to benefit from it. All sessions are recorded, and you’ll have lifetime access to the content, so you can revisit everything and move at your own pace when needed.

Many of our students complete the program alongside full-time work, studies, or family life. The structure helps you stay focused on what matters most — so you can make real progress faster, without feeling overwhelmed.

Yes — but not through shortcuts.

The program focuses on helping you build strong, professional-level work and a portfolio that reflects that level. From there, we guide you on how to present your work, approach clients, and position your skills in the market.

Getting paid for your work becomes possible when your craft, your portfolio, and your positioning align — and that’s exactly what we work on inside the program.

Most resources teach isolated techniques — often through scattered tutorials that don’t build on each other.

That’s why many creatives feel stuck. It’s not a lack of effort — it’s a lack of structure.

The Lettering Seminar™ is built as a complete system — guiding you from foundations to professional application through a clear progression.

You’re not just learning how to draw letters. You’re learning how to think, refine, and apply lettering in real-world contexts — with feedback, support, and a structured path that removes guesswork.

It goes beyond craft. You’ll learn how to integrate lettering into your creative practice, develop a body of work you’re proud of, and build a business around your expertise.

You don’t need to be a professional designer to join The Lettering Seminar™.

Many of our students come from different creative backgrounds — illustration, art, tattooing, or simply a strong interest in letters. What matters is your willingness to learn and develop your craft.

The program is structured to guide you step by step, helping you understand how lettering works and how to apply it — regardless of where you’re starting from.

We use Adobe Illustrator because it’s the industry standard for professional lettering desginers and artists. While we may integrate other tools like Procreate, working professionally with lettering will often require the use of a vector program. Some reasons why you’ll want to learn Adobe Illustrator for your lettering work:

  • Industry standard tool: When working professionally, you’re often required to deliver a vector file as it facilitates further manipulation.
  • Versatility: Adobe Illustrator seamlessly incorporates image, texture, bitmap, and vector all in one app, making it incredibly versatile.
  • Scalability: Vector drawings can be infinitely scaled, which is crucial for various applications like logos, where sizing varies.
  • Printing process and file prep: Several production processes require a vector drawing, not just for delivering final artwork but also for producing products like mugs and apparel.
  • Professional tool valued in the creative industry: Adobe Illustrator is highly valued as it allows for elaborated creation of visuals and is often seen as an essential skillset in the creative industry.

The tuition of the program is a one-time payment of US$1650 (you save US$144 by choosing this option). We also offer a payment plan in six installments. If you choose to pay in installments, you’ll be charged the first installment today and the remaining in upcoming months.

All prices shown are final — taxes are already included, so there are no additional fees at checkout.

We accept major payment methods including credit cards, PayPal, and other standard online payment options.

The goal is to make the program accessible while giving you flexibility in how you invest in your learning. Full details, including pricing and payment options, are available on the checkout page. 

We accept credit card and PayPal, and you can pay in Dollars or Euros depending on where you are. Many students choose PayPal credit during Checkout to get 6 months at 0% interest. To use, simply choose PayPal, scroll down, and select ‘PayPal Credit’.

You’ll have lifetime access to the 2026 course, the bonuses, as well as the replays of all live sessions so that you can come back and revise any of the lessons at any time.

The Lettering Seminar Course has a 14-day 100% money-back guarantee. If you are unhappy with The Lettering Seminar during the first 2 weeks, I will give you your money back. 

You’ll need:

  • Pencil
  • Paper
  • Tracing paper
  • A computer with Adobe Illustrator installed
  • A phone, camera, or scanner
  • Notebook to take notes

The Lettering Seminar is designed as an entire roadmap. We aim to create a common, solid foundation for all our students and build a powerful community. Even advanced lettering artists will benefit from revisiting these foundations, as it may enable you to teach or write about the craft. Therefore, individual modules are not available for purchase.

No, The Lettering Seminar only happens once a year.
