How it works
Journaling lettering starts with a heading: To Do, Goals, October. The sheet draws one title in twelve faces at once, six rows a page, from thin capitals and a typewriter face to print hands, a brush script and shadow letters.

Twelve styles, lightest first
Josefin Sans and Raleway are thin capitals and small letters, one pen line a stroke. Cutive Mono is a typewriter face and Oswald tall and narrow. Schoolbell, Gochi Hand, Kalam, Indie Flower and Shadows Into Light are print hands. Kaushan Script is a brush script, Rock Salt a marker scrawl in capitals, and Rubik Doodle Shadow an outline with a shadow.
Hand lettering months and days
The ready-made list holds 24 page titles, then the twelve months and the seven weekdays. After your first change, a month picked from it is drawn in all twelve faces, a heading for a monthly page.
- Look redraws the rows with a Drop shadow; Rubik Doodle Shadow stays as it is.
Questions and answers
Is there October hand lettering or April hand lettering to copy?
Yes. Type the month, or after your first change tap October or April in the list, and it is drawn in all twelve faces. Print the two pages and copy the row you like at the top of the month's page.
Which row is February brush lettering?
Type February and look at the tenth row. Kaushan Script is a brush script: slanted, with strokes that swell and thin. No other row is a brush script.
How do I copy a title into a dot-grid journal?
Print the sheet and pick a row. Count the letters of the title, pencil them lightly across the page with even gaps, then go over them in pen and erase the pencil.
Can I letter my own title?
Yes. Type it in the box, up to 40 characters, and all twelve rows redraw. A long title shrinks to fit its row, so short titles show each style best.
