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.
League of Letters is a knockout lettering tournament where designers, letterers, calligraphers, and type aficionados of all kinds compete to win. We start with 16 players competing in head to head lettering challenges. One by one, players are eliminated until we have our champion!
LofL is a celebration of the skill of hand-lettering in all styles. As modern designers and artists we have every digital resource and tool we could want at our fingertips. But for hundreds of years designers, illustrators, and artists developed typefaces and lettering styles by hand to incorporate meaning and emotion into text that was printed, drawn, and carved.
This tournament was created to bring us back to our foundations, work with analog tools again, and remind each other what we're capable of without computers. And give out cool prizes!
