With April being Typography month at HOW, we’re excited to share some of our favorite typography accounts on Instagram.

Typography may be an old art, but it’s seeing a revival today with the current crop of illustrators taking up hand-painted signage, curvaceous illustration and even a renaissance of blackletter. While not everyone is using movable type these days, the art of type is thriving. And with Instagram as the top sharing platform for designers, it’s no wonder that “typoholic” is a hashtag. From Amsterdam to California, here are some of the best lettering, illustration and type feeds to get Murfreesboro web designers inspired every day.
