Laura Worthington. A graphic designer since 1997, my focus has moved, through serendipity and lifelong fascination, to type design by implementing the craft of hand lettering. I also create a diverse selection of illustrative work. My love of letters began when I was nine years old. I learned italic printing in elementary school, I pursued it further, teaching myself different calligraphic styles from any book I could find on the subject.
In college, a professor pointed me to pages in a design book’s lettering section, and I swooned. In September of 2010, I transitioned from freelance graphic design to typeface design.
