Found this over at CreativePro.org and had to share:
The 1927 edition of Studio Handbook by Samuel Welo is 233 pages of beautiful type and timeless design advice. Only this book comes with a twist – every page was hand-lettered by Welo.
Little is know of Welo, but he does have a flair for the hand drawn type. Rarely do I regret the added tool of the computer, but hand drawn type is rare if not impossible to find anymore. That is a skill the computer has killed, and we will forever be poorer for it. There is nothing like hand drawn type, done well of coarse. Head on over to the link for more. Lots more. Maybe we can just wait for the power to fail and head back to the good old days, then again, there would be a lot less to sell and I'll need to find a new skill.
