Seb Lester established his name as a type designer at Monotoype producing typefaces for the likes of Dell, Intel the New York Times amongst many others. He made the jump from type design to type illustration with the release of his first print The Pen is mightier than the Sword a few years ago.

The influence of this first work can be seen through reverberations of countless imitations from other designers.

After a turbulent year Seb is back equipped with a new found passion for calligraphy.

His two new pieces of work inspired by literary giants Dylan Thomas and William Shakespeare combine the skill and expertise of the oldest lettering skill to date.
