Ruth Rowland shares some recent samples of book covers which feature her lettering. “I do a lot of work for the publishing industry and enjoy seeing styles change as the designers I work for tackle the constant problem of standing out in a competitive market.”

Hand lettered titles, designed to work with specific photos or illustrations, so often give a cover a more personal, emotive and unified feel. Ruth works in a wide range of lettering styles, from chick lit to historical, and loves the variety the commissions provide.
