Your hand lettering probably isn’t bad… but it might be pretty awful in a very specific, fixable way.
In this video, I’m breaking down 10 (plus a few bonus) practical lettering tips that will help your work feel more intentional, more readable, and way less “why does this feel off?”
We’re talking about:
• starting looser than you think
• avoiding common lettering mistakes
• improving composition and visual hierarchy
• keeping your letters readable without making them boring
• and how small tweaks can make a huge difference

I walk through real examples from my own work, show what doesn’t work, and explain what to do instead — no gatekeeping, no calligraphy snobbery, just useful stuff you can actually apply.
This video is for:
• beginners who feel stuck
• intermediate folks whose lettering looks “fine” but not right
• and anyone who’s ever stared at their work thinking, “why does this feel weird?”
Huge thanks to Kittl for sponsoring this video. I use one of their templates as a starting point and show how you can customize it and turn it into something totally your own.
