Randall Hasson - Romitalic - Saturdays, Apr 15-29, 2023

Join Randall on a journey of discovery and come away with a new lettering style as well as valuable ideas on how one can analyze a letterform and create something specific to one’s hand. The lettering on a book cover provided the first spark of inspiration, while an advertisement from the 1920s set in motion the process of developing this new personalized letterform. After the had was created, Randall conducted research into traditional Italic and Roman forms – as well as show card lettering styles of the early twentieth century, to pull together the influences that led to the lettering that was his initial inspiration.
