If you love typography, vintage lettering, and elegant script fonts, Scripts: Elegant Lettering from Design’s Golden Age is visual inspiration at its finest. This beautiful collection by Steven Heller and Louise Fili showcases hundreds of examples of hand-drawn typography, ornamental flourishes, and vintage trademark designs from around the world.

A forgotten box of photo negatives led me back to a favorite design project—a commemorative jazz concert poster created for musicians Flora Purim and Airto Moreira. From concept development to printing choices, this vintage poster project remains one of my favorite design memories.
