Lettering
Perspective

relationships on a flat surface.
Lettering
Lettering is letters of the alphabet written, printed, inscribed, or
painted on something.
Serif Lettering
In typography, serifs are semi-structural details on the ends of
some of the strokes that make up letters and symbols. A typeface
with serifs is called a serif typeface (or serifed typeface). A
typeface without serifs is called sans serif or sans-serif, from the
French sans, meaning without.

Sans-serif Lettering
In typography, a sans-serif, sans serif, san serif or simply sans
typeface is one that does not have the small projecting features
called "serifs" at the end of strokes. The term comes from the
French word sans, meaning "without".
In print, sans-serif fonts are used for headlines rather than for
body text.[1] The conventional wisdom holds that serifs help
guide the eye along the lines in large blocks of text. Sans-serifs,
however, have acquired considerable acceptance for body text in
Europe.

Printmaking
Printmaking is the process of making artworks by printing on
paper. Printmaking normally covers only the process of creating
prints with an element of originality, rather than just being a
photographic reproduction of a painting. The process is capable of
producing multiples of the same pieces, which is called a 'print'.
Each piece produced is not a copy but considered an original
since it is not a reproduction of another work of art. Printmaking is
not chosen only for its ability to produce multiple impressions, but
rather for the unique qualities that each of the printmaking
processes lends itself to.
