A Book of Lettering

The pages in this one were intended as a simple guide to the practice and appreciation of decent letter forms. Letters are put to such a variety of uses that there can be no hard and fast rules as to what constitutes “good lettering.” But by common consent it may be said that a right use of the tool employed will produce beautiful forms. Letters should be straightforward and unobtrusive. They should look easy. And in this one, Reynolds Stone makes it look easy. A lovely and diverse showing.
