League of Letters is a knockout hand-lettering tournament for lettering lovers, type nerds, and any creative that believes they can draw the better letter under pressure.
This tournament celebrates the craft of drawing letters by hand. That means no fonts, no computers, no tablets, and definitely no AI. This year's players brought all kinds of art tools from inks, brushes and fine pens to paint markers, highlighters, and sharpies. These talented people showed us that it's truly the artist that makes the art, not the tools.
