Following our series of typography inspiration today we feature a project called “80’s rap lettering”. Created by Ricardo Gonzalez the idea was to design hand-lettering compositions inspired by rap songs from the 80s including 2PAC, Wu-Tang, Bestie Boys and others.

Ricardo, I am a graphic designer focused on creative lettering and its exploration. It’s a living is a design initiative where creativity & passion is a life style. That’s why It’s a living. For more information visit http://www.itsaliving.ca/
