The Typography Lie – Why Lettering Is the Missing Piece in Your Graphic Design Career with Martina Flor


Listen Later

Graphic designers think they know typography. You pick a font, tweak some kerning, and boom—you’re a type expert, right? Wrong.

Most designers are blind to the power of lettering, and it’s keeping them stuck in the same sea of mediocrity. While they tinker with fonts, lettering artists are out there crafting custom letterforms, charging premium rates, and landing clients like Vanity Fair, Cosmopolitan, and Adobe.

This week on The Angry Designer, we sit down with Martina Flor, a world-renowned lettering artist who built a global empire by breaking the rules. She ditched the generic designer path, took massive risks, and carved out a niche that most designers overlook.

In this episode, we dive into:

  • The massive difference between lettering and type design
  • How specializing can make you more valuable than 99% of generalist designers
  • Why waiting to be “discovered” is a fantasy—and how real success is built
  • The one mindset shift that took Martina from unknown to industry leader

If you’re tired of blending in and want to build a career that actually excites you, this is the episode you need to hear.

Listen now & take control of your design future!
