Building on the success of its acclaimed predecessor, Yearbook of Lettering #2 brings the global lettering scene to life like never before. From elegant calligraphy and expressive hand lettering to bold graffiti, street art, and dynamic 3D-lettering, this volume celebrates the creativity, diversity, and energy shaping contemporary lettering today.

Each artist is given a full page to let their work speak visually, supported by a clean, open layout that highlights every form and technique (excellent for inspiration). A detailed index includes bios, materials, and contact info — perfect for quick reference. Over 90 artists from 31 countries are featured, with work spanning from traditional calligraphic traditions to contemporary expressions. 

Includes interviews with leading figures such as “Tyrsa” Alexis Taïeb, Ying Chang, Ken Barber, Ruben Malayan, Tina Touli, Carmi Grau, Abdelrahman Barakat, and Dave Towers.

Yearbook of Lettering No. 2 is both an inspirational showcase and a practical guide for designers, agencies, and lettering enthusiasts worldwide.
