It was great to work on the title lettering for The Field of Cloth of Gold by Glenn Richardson.
A major Tudor event, The Field of Cloth of Gold, was a spectacular festival of competition and entertainment which aimed to secure a permanent settlement between England and France in 1520.
With that in mind, the title lettering had to be suitably ornate with a flavour of the period, while still being legible enough to read amongst a shelf of books. I opted for a loose informal hand and had some fun with the flourishes.
You can find more of my work for publishing, cover art, hand lettered titles and logos in the dedicated folder in the menu, or for more historically inspired lettering, take a look at my work for Wartime covers ....
