Calligraphers Dean Robino and Dorothy Yuki demonstrate the art of unblocking your letters.
Since first learning Babyteeth lettering from Dorothy Yuki in 2014, Dean Robino has been enamored of them. She uses them often and loves their geometry, whichever shape they take, legible or not, solid or open. She thinks they need to be in every letterer and calligrapher’s arsenal and is looking forward to talking about them.
