Young designers can learn a lot from her, because when Roxy sends off comms to clients she goes the extra mile and really jazzes the envelopes up with carefully crafted typography presented through hand scripted lettering. As Roxy said, hand lettering and typography are crucial, because "\[w\]hen looking for a job, first impressions are everything. I hand-lettered manila envelopes and mailed them with my cover letter and resume to the creative agencies”. Her lettering invokes an array of 3D forms, and the playful perspectival shifts in her typography are sure to grab the attention of the targeted creative agencies, where curious peeps are always looking for new angles to apply to the geometry of their approach. You can check out Roxy’s typography and lettering on Behance [here](https://www.behance.net/gallery/10292339/Snail-Mail-Series), and her lettering blog [here](http://cargocollective.com/roxytorres/Lettering-Blog).   #tags: #typography #roxytorres #typotuesday #headjamcreative #newcastlecreative #snailmail #lettering ![Typo Tuesday: “Snail Mail!”](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/hubfs/Headjam%20May2018/Images/Snail-Mail-03.jpg) ![Typo Tuesday: “Snail Mail!”](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/hubfs/Headjam%20May2018/Images/Snail-Mail-07.jpg) ![Typo Tuesday: “Snail Mail!”](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/hubfs/Headjam%20May2018/Images/Snail-Mail-09.jpg) ![Typo Tuesday: “Snail Mail!”](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/hubfs/Headjam%20May2018/Images/Snail-Mail-05.jpg) ## If you have a project in mind or would like to work with us, send us a message. ## [![Typo Tuesday: Injection Reflection](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/bubble_wrap_001.jpg?width=1360&height=900&upsize=true&upscale=true&name=bubble_wrap_001.jpg) Typo Tuesday: Injection Reflection](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/spreadable/typo-tuesday-injection-reflection) [Inspiration](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/spreadable/tag/inspiration) · [Typography](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/spreadable/tag/typography) ## [![Typo Tuesday: Gemma O'Brien](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/4_New.jpg?width=1360&height=900&upsize=true&upscale=true&name=4_New.jpg) Typo Tuesday: Gemma O'Brien](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/spreadable/typo-tuesday-gemmaobrien) [Design](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/spreadable/tag/design) · [Inspiration](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/spreadable/tag/inspiration) · [Typography](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/spreadable/tag/typography) ## [![Typo Tuesday: “Freaky 3D!”](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/05%20(1).jpg?width=1360&height=900&upsize=true&upscale=true&name=05%20(1).jpg) Typo Tuesday: “Freaky 3D!”](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/spreadable/typo-tuesday-freaky-3d) [Crafts](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/spreadable/tag/crafts) · [Typography](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/spreadable/tag/typography) Have an idea in mind?
