LetterNews

While many newsletters focus on delivering information quickly, few offer a thoughtfully designed reading experience that reflects the craft and visual richness of their subject. For members of the Society for Calligraphy & Handwriting, especially those unable to attend meetings in person, there is a need for a publication that not only informs but also fosters a sense of connection, continuity, and belonging.
Can a newsletter function not just as a bulletin, but as a cohesive editorial experience—one that honors the aesthetics of calligraphy while remaining clear,
structured, and engaging?
LetterNews is a biannual newsletter produced for the Society for Calligraphy & Handwriting and distributed both digitally and in print. It features articles, workshop and class listings, exhibition announcements, and updates on local and national calligraphy events.
LetterNews is created for SCH members—calligraphers, students, and enthusiasts of all levels. The audience includes both active participants and those who engage remotely, seeking inspiration, education, and a sense of community within the practice of lettering and calligraphy.

Solution

Building on the existing identity, I led a full redesign of LetterNews, preserving key elements such as the name and overall structure while rethinking the layout system across all sections. The goal was to create a cohesive, modern editorial framework that improves readability, hierarchy, and visual rhythm.

The design balances clarity with expression: structured grids support diverse content types, while typography and spacing reflect the discipline and elegance of calligraphic practice. The result is a publication that is both functional and visually engaging.
