Alongside the lettering we share ourselves, there are many other makers worth discovering online.
Following work you enjoy is a simple way to support its maker, particularly someone whose practice is still finding an audience.

At the time of the original article, 無畏 Fearless regularly shared lettering for song titles. Viewing it alongside the music adds another way to experience the work.
His Stories also invited followers to suggest songs they had been listening to, using lettering to share the music.
@kongnokart
空 combines Chinese calligraphic gestures with vivid colour, giving the work a contemporary visual language.
A particular example is the lettering for Adidas Beijing Stadium Store Art, where the forms become part of a retail space while responding to the brand.
@amenohigraphics
The work of amenohigraphics explores a technical, functional-looking style of lettering, with individual character designs presented as visual compositions in their own right.
The practice has also applied its lettering to stickers and T-shirts depicting familiar Japanese scenes.
@sakujitetsu
作字鉄道 develops lettering around railway terminology, including 丸內線, 車內換氣, 安全側線 and 前方注視.
The original article noted three Japanese font designs containing around 1,026 educational kanji, with trial downloads available. Check the maker’s own pages for their current offering.
Books also introduce the lettering through images and explanations of its construction.
