It’s always a treat to work with makers but not every maker has such a great backstory or a brand name rooted in family history as @cottonwood_handmade. You should definitely check out his work! #brentgilbertco (at Louisville, Kentucky)

I’ve always loved the look and utilitarian nature of the old style of canoe packs and scout packs. There’s just something about that combination of waxed canvas and leather that just works. #brentgilbertco (at Louisville, Kentucky)

It's always satisfying to see hand lettered logotype in its home turf. @wildernesstrading.co is a small batch leather goods and antique curator. #handlettering #type #typography #goodtype #typematters #typegang #slowroastedco #50words #tyxca #designspiration #calligraphy #customtype #customlettering #thedailytype #typism #typespot #brushtype #handtype #thefinelab #todaystype #handdrawn #lettering #pen #ink #illustration #calligraphymasters #logo #design #branding #sketch
