What does it mean to write in Letterista style? Well, it's a sweet mash up of traditional calligraphy gone wild—modern and funky inventions and innovations on old styles of lettering! I've coined the term "Letterista" to describe my take on rebellious calligraphy. What will happen when we open up to modifications of several styles of lettering ? Let's organically explore all these options together. Rebellious and chaotic, spilling our brilliant and innermost thoughts on the page, always a lot of fun! Explorers, letterers, and artists wanted!
