Connor Hoskings aka CRUSADES
Connor Hoskings, a.k.a. CRUSADES is a designer out of London. His collages and logo designs are excellent, but I think his experimentation with hand drawn type is the most inspiring. You can see more of his calligraphy and graffiti-esque lettering on Flickr.
Shane Cranford
Shane Cranford is a fantastic art director out of North Carolina. His style is kind of like a modernized version of what you’d find on Victorian-era potions and medicine bottles, and he adapts it to work well across a wide variety of projects. Plus, his portfolio lives at workingformorework.com, for which I’m sending him an internet high five. While you’re there, take a look at his wonderfully curated blog of inspirations.

Hand Drawn Type by Nate Williams
Nate Williams has a knack for giving his hand lettering a personality that’s playful, yet grown-up.
Not only does Nate have a vast portfolio with much more than just hand lettering, he also blogs about the thinking behind what he does. I really liked his post about a methodology for creating new ideas.

OUR LATEST GIGPOSTER
We got to design and print a poster for Darling Imperial's farewell show at the Berkley Front. They let us do whatever we wanted, so we went with vintage lettering and a weathered, faded feel.
