FAQ: Hand Lettering the Alphabet A–Z for Beginners

Can I improve my lettering even if I have poor handwriting?
Yes! My day-to-day handwriting is nothing special. Lettering is a form of drawing. All letters are created from basic shapes, lines, and arcs. ANYONE can learn to letter if they’re willing to put in the work!

What style should beginners start with?
This series covers the foundational styles: a basic sans serif, serif, and script for each letter, so you’re in the right place!

Can I practice this without Procreate?
Absolutely! I’ve included both a printable PDF and a Procreate file in the free worksheet downloads, so you can practice digitally, analog, or both!

What about Calligraphy Styles?

Calligraphy is different from lettering. With lettering, we’re drawing. whereas in calligraphy, we write by applying pressure to control the width of our upstrokes and downstrokes. Want to try it? Check out my free calligraphy drills video and worksheet!
