Illustrator & hand-letterer

Posy Marchetti illustrator & hand-letterer working in Lisbon.

I draw by hand first and clean it up never quite all the way. Most projects start with a scribbled marker on cream paper and end up as packaging, a logo, or a whole wandering little universe.

About

A practice of one, by choice.

A one-person studio drawing letters, marks, and little worlds — for the kind of brands that would rather be remembered than be tidy.

I've spent the last decade in and around studios learning that the work I love most is the work I get to touch every part of — the brief, the sketches, the kerning at midnight, the press check. So now I keep things small on purpose.

When I'm not on a project you'll find me drawing letters that go nowhere, collecting paper I don't need, and teaching the occasional type workshop in Lisbon.

What I do
Lettering & LogosWordmarks and hand-set type drawn fat, loose, and impossible to forget.
IllustrationCharacters, blobs, and busy little scenes that reward a long stare.
Packaging & PrintRiso, stickers, labels — anything that wants ink and a slight wobble.
Murals & Big WallsWhen a sketch needs to be three metres tall and still feel hand-made.

Posy gave our jam a face so cheerful people buy two so they don't have to throw the jar away. The squiggles do the selling now.

Let's make something.

I take on a handful of projects each season. If you've got something you care about, I'd love to hear about it — a paragraph is plenty to start.
