Typewritten by Hand: A Typewriter Lettering Workbook is a step-by-step guide for learning how to draw a vintage-inspired typewriter lettering style by hand.

Created in collaboration with Yancy P. Sura, this workbook was made for artists, letterers, and creative people who love the nostalgic charm of old typewriters and want to understand how to recreate that feeling through hand lettering.

Instead of simply showing you a finished alphabet and leaving you to figure it out on your own, this workbook walks you through the structure of each letter with clear visual guides, grids, practice sheets, and written instructions. You’ll learn the basic concepts behind the style, practice the essential strokes, study the full A to Z alphabet and numbers, and slowly build each letter with guidance you can actually follow.

The practice pages are designed to help you move from tracing to drawing on your own, so you can gradually understand the spacing, rhythm, and structure of this typewriter lettering style. You’ll also get to practice words, phrases, and quotes, so you can see how the letters work together beyond single alphabet drills.

To help you apply the style creatively, the workbook also includes a final project tutorial that shows how you can turn your practice into a finished artwork piece.

Whether you’re drawn to vintage lettering, old typewriters, nostalgic design, or simply want to learn a new lettering style, this workbook gives you a clear and approachable way to practice typewriter-inspired letters by hand.
