Local Letterings: 10 Talented Singaporean modern calligraphers on Instagram
Stuck with hideous handwriting? You might want to take a hint or two from these letter artists.
Gone are the days when calligraphy was synonymous with ancient Gothic fonts or intricate Chinese characters. Marked by wavy fonts, pastel water-colours and the occasional dainty botanicals, the modern era has lavished a new personality on the art of hand-lettering. The rising prevalence of modern calligraphy has seen the birth of a growing army of penmanship artists – especially on Instagram. Waves of gorgeous letters and complementary backgrounds flood our feeds while we can only admire in sheer envy at these calligraphers’ adept fingers and keen eye.
Nevertheless, we’re more than proud of our local modern calligraphy scene, teeming with promising artists (and entrepreneurs, for some). We’ve scoured the world of Instagram and rounded up 10 local modern calligraphers who are absolutely slaying the hand-lettering game. You don’t want to miss out on the ultimate feast for your eyes!
