Copying Fonts?


















 I sometimes have clients come to me with a request to copy fonts that are entirely non-calligraphic.

I recently got a request for such and agreed to do it because the quantity was so small. Copying a type/font that is rigid, non- calligraphic is quite time consuming. Here is a sample of the lettering. Happily, the client was quite pleased with my lettering.
