3D Calligraphy Jumps Off the Page

Turkish graphic designer Tolga Girgin has a passion for calligraphy, but her lettering has a look that’s all together different. Using an assortment of perspective trickery, she uses pens and pencils to give her old-school lettering a whole new angle — one that would have you believe each letter was pealing off the paper or hovering above it.

She accomplishes her illusion using a combination of carefully drawn shadows on the page itself, and colourful shading within each letter. Girgin’s themes are decidedly modern, using quotes from 20th century intellectuals or shout outs to her 10,000+ Instagram followers.
