In the pre-digital era, few people were interested in typography and type design. But now that we've almost forgotten how to write by hand, painted logos and hand-drawn fonts are coming into vogue again, and both Instagram and Pinterest are filled with motivational posters, painted letters and postcards.

We chose 9 Instagram accounts with great typography and type design, which are worth to follow.
