This lettering piece was created with a practical challenge in my mind: How to flourish double letters, especially those with ascenders and descenders? Should they look similar to create a rhythm or should they look different from each other?

“Tillykke” means “Congratulations” in Danish. I decided to break the word up into three lines and create a vertical piece. It has helped to solve the problem of the double letters.

Here is the whole process: first, a pencil sketch which I developed it further. The next step was vectoring the sketch in Adobe Illustrator. Finally, I added colours and effects. It is ready to be printed and used as a greeting card.
