I love looking through old postcards and letters in antique stores; the handwriting transports you to another time and place. When I first saw the work of Signora e Mare‘s Katie Decker Hyatt, I got that same feeling. Romantic and organic, Katie’s lettering and calligraphy take these pieces to a different world. – Julie

It’s amazing how illustrative the work in Katie’s portfolio looks. It takes a few seconds for me to realize that I’m looking at a very simple piece brought to life by her writing.

A perfectly lovely birth announcement, don’t you think? I love Katie’s use of subtle ink colors; the dynamic calligraphy style is enough on its own for that added pop.

You can see more gorgeous calligraphy in Signora e Mare’s portfolio and blog. And be sure to keep an eye on her site for the opening of her shop!
