There’s been a trend in the last few years dubbed maximalism. We’re particular fans of how it manifests calligraphically and typographically. Here’s some of the finest, and six words about each:

Ray Fenwick

Words and pictures both very good.

Marian Bantjes

We have one; it’s laser-cut awesomeness.

Jessica Hische

This will be a tshirt soon.

Si Scott

Pen in hand, makes his mark.

Niels “Shoe” Meulman

calligraffiti inventor. Yep, how it sounds.

Seb Lester

Silver on black plike. Pretty rad.

Yulia Brodskaya

OMG that’s quilling? That’s insane yo.
