JOHN STEVENS, CALLIGRAPHER, began his career in the 1980s. He is
acclaimed as one of the most gifted and original lettering artists
of the current generation, renowned for his skill with both pen and
brush. As calligrapher, designer of logotypes and illustrator of
expressive letterforms, Stevens has worked for well known clients in
book and magazine publishing, television and film, corporations
and educational institutions. In addition to the graphics application
of his work, Stevens practices calligraphy as an art form, producing
one-of-a-kind commissioned works which are included in many private and
public collections throughout the world. His work is well represented
in books and other publications and has been shown in group and solo
exhibitions, notably his first one-person display, in 1987, at the San
Francisco Public Library. Stevens’ work is one of the highlights of the
Harrison Collection of Calligraphy & Lettering in the Book Arts & Special
Collections Center, San Francisco Public Library.
