Estudié tipografía y algo de lettering en la universidad, pero la claridad con la que explica Johana, lo metódico y flexibles que son sus procesos de creación han cambiado mi manera de empezar y encarar un lettering. Me encanta que invita a la exploración al mismo tiempo que comparte sus criterios y conocimientos. Lo recomiendo 100%
