When it comes to lettering manuals (https://letterformarchive.org/news/art-of-lettering-instruction/), it’s hard to beat Michael Harvey. His illustrations are as charming as they are instructive. Attached are pages from Creative Lettering (1985) and Calligraphy in the Graphic Arts (1988).
What’s missing from the calligraphy examples here, though, is the movement of the hand he shows in the first drawing image. Anyone know a great illustration that clearly compares #lettering (drawn letters) to #calligraphy (written letters)?
