Every great letterform started as a mark someone was willing to erase. Chalk Art & Lettering 101 by Amanda Arneill and Shannon Roberts teaches hand lettering the analog way: chalk, a board and practice, from your first alphabet to full illustrated pieces.
Why chalk lettering still matters
Before fonts, every menu board and shop sign was drawn by hand. Lettering in chalk trains the eye that makes you better at type, logos and layout on screen. It's the same instinct behind every typeface in our fonts/ drawer.
Who this book is for
Beginners who want to learn lettering, designers who want to draw letters instead of only setting them, and anyone with a menu board, an easel or a wall to fill.
What's inside
- Getting started: making and seasoning your own chalkboards

What is vandal_?
A creative marketplace for the misfit class. We curate tools, gear, assets, fonts, streetwear and digital weapons for people rewriting the rules. No fluff. No permission. All signal.
What kind of stuff do you sell?
Display fonts. Glitch textures. Gradient payloads. Tools that hit. Hoodies, Zines, essays, assets, shirts that don’t ask. Everything is made by or curated by creators who choose to live outside the algorithm.
Is vandal_ royalty-free?
Yup. Buy it once. Use it in your work, client or personal. Don’t resell it or pretend you made it. That's the only rule.
How can I join the marketplace?
If you make dope, useful, weird, disruptive creative stuff, we want to see it. Drop us a line. We’re building this together.
Why does vandal_ feel different?
Because it is. This isn’t just commerce. It’s community, rebellion, and real creativity, all wrapped in downloadable, readable and wearable form.
