What’s interesting about this project is that not only do you get to see some great examples of lettering but thanks to the accompanying definitions you also get to learn about what each of the words mean. If you’re a keen letterer you can also get involved and submit your own piece by following a few simple steps.
Before you do that though, feast your eyes on some of our favourite pieces from the project:
Aretaloger (ar-ta-log-er]) n.1623-1656, braggart; one who boasts about his own accomplishments
Tragematopolist (jus-soo-lent) n.1656-1658, confectioner; seller of sweets
Teterrimous (tey-ter-ee-muhs) n.1704-1864, most foul
