League of Letters
Like march madness but with markers.
League of Letters is a knockout lettering tournament where designers, letterers, calligraphers, and type aficionados of all kinds compete to win. We start with 16 players competing in head to head lettering challenges. Then one by one, players are eliminated until we have our lettering champion!
We’ve teamed up with The Combine to bring this tournament to life. We’ll be partying in their beautiful space with sips and snacks to enjoy and some other fun features.
Here's how it works: Each game, a random letter is chosen. Two players have to draw their best version of that letter - quickly! Round one is 4 minutes long, and the rounds get shorter and shorter as we go. By the final round players only have 1 minute to prove themselves!
This tournament tests your lettering skills, your design instincts, and how quickly you can get your ideas on paper.
League of Letters is analog only: no computers, no tablets, and definitely no AI. Players can bring their favourite pens, markers, brushes, pencils, crayons, or whatever you use to make your letters better, in any style. Choose your weapons wisely!
