Printable Lettering Idea Generator
Feeling stuck on what to letter next? This Printable Lettering Idea Generator is here to spark your creativity!
It’s a simple but powerful tool that helps you dream up new project ideas in seconds. Just pick one option from each row—Lettering Style, Theme/Inspiration, and Design Style—to create a unique concept for your next piece.
Whether you’re practicing your lettering skills, planning a full composition, or looking for a fresh idea to post, this printable prompt matrix will help you turn creative blocks into bold ideas.
How to Use the GENERATOR
There are three categories, each with its own row. Pick one idea from each row, and that’s the concept for your next lettering project.
- LETTERING STYLE: The twelve styles are based on all the styles from my year-long lettering style challenge. If you prefer not to use the exact styles, feel free to adopt the general typographical style listed below.
- THEME/INSPIRATION: This row is pretty self-explanatory. I’ve chosen items that are general enough to appeal to almost everyone. Interpret them any way you wish. There are no rules!
- DESIGN STYLE: These styles can be used conceptually. They also align with many of the styles of my Procreate Brush Sets!
SAMPLE LETTERING PIECE
For example, let’s say I pick these things from the generator rows:
- Lettering Style: Holly Jolly/Festive Slab Serif
- Theme/Inspiration: Pop Culture and Celestial (I picked two things. No rules, remember?!)
- Design Style: Dimensional
You can see in my artwork below that I’ve adhered to those as my general guidelines, but created my piece according to my own style and the phrase “You’re a real one” (which serves as the pop culture element).
