The new book by lettering artist Denise Lach: experimental calligraphy inspired by foreign writing. A richly illustrated art and inspiration book for everyone who is enthusiastic about design. Calligraphy combined with examples from printmaking, textile printing, collage and digital processes. If you love letters, a written culture is probably not enough - because unknown signs and forms also arouse curiosity and enthusiasm. Typefaces build bridges between cultures, they have a past and transport stories, and their difference encourages calligraphic experimentation. Denise Lach has embarked on various writing trips. In India, Ethiopia or Tibet, she captured complex and simple signs, playful shapes and shrill colors and gave them their own visual form. The design options are great: repeating, turning, mirroring, rotating letters, but also rhythm, contrast, color and line thickness are just a few of them. In addition to calligraphic techniques, examples from printmaking, textile printing, collage and digital processes will also be presented. The many works of art with beautiful photographs illustrate everything that can be created on writing trips – on paper, stone, fabric or ceramics.
