Lettering alphabets in 10 styles, reference and tracing sheets

Lettering alphabets for adults, gathered into one tidy set: ten complete hand lettering styles, from elegant serif capitals to a playful bouncy script. Across 38 pages, each style gets a reference sheet with capitals, lowercase and numbers, then two pages of pale gray letters to trace.

You receive US Letter and A4 versions as an instant PDF download. Print one style or all ten, and come back to the blank guides whenever you want more practice.

Why these lettering alphabets save you time

No more hunting online for one font at a time. The ten styles sit together: classic serif caps, clean sans serif, tall condensed, monoline script, brush script, bouncy script, small caps serif, drop shadow block letters, outline letters and slab typewriter. On every reference sheet, each capital, small letter and digit rests on identical guidelines, so height, width and slant are easy to compare.

Tracing pages then build muscle memory with full alphabets, sample words and a short phrase per style. Once you feel ready, the embellishment page, the pairing guide and the phrase layouts help you turn the letters into journal headers, greeting cards and signs.

Who this lettering set is for

• Adult beginners keen to learn a range of hand lettering styles one step at a time
• Bullet journal and planner fans who draw their own headers, titles and month pages
• Card makers and scrapbookers who need pretty letters for greetings, labels and titles
• Anyone who would like a printed font reference sitting next to the desk

Design and printing

• Elegant, minimal look: white sheets with soft blush pink accents that need very little ink
• Generous margins, so your home printer will not clip any edges
• Two portrait sizes: US Letter (8.5 x 11 in) and A4 (210 x 297 mm)
• Undated, so the tracing pages and blank guides can be printed again and again
• Pale gray letters set on cap, x-height, base and descender lines, easy on the printer with gentle pink details
• Keep it in a binder or on a clipboard, or have a print shop spiral bind it
• Paper tip: smooth laser or premium inkjet paper of 90 to 120 gsm (24 to 32 lb) keeps brush pens and fine liners crisp. To reuse a sheet, cover it with tracing paper or a sheet protector and trace with a dry erase marker
