The Edinburgh Lettering Legend

"If I had refused every job I was offered on some sort of moral grounds, I would only ever be doing things for the co-op."

"it was as if I had cheated somehow, by only spending hundreds of pounds instead of ten of thousands on printers and all that paraphernalia."

"Since I was a child I have always been fascinated and puzzled by lettering - it's all around us and we take it for granted. Someone's gotta do it!"

"It's much easier to take up a tradition that might be waining, but at least it's alive, than it is to try and start one."

"This is the bane of modern design really. People assume that you can only do what is there on the page. 'Adapting a type face?! AH! What a horrendous thing!'"

There's nothing that increases your confidence like being confident!

Sign writers have style they don't have typefaces!

There are a lot of Puritans about... also know as graphic designers.
