THE BEAUTY OF TYPOGRAPHY ART PRINTS
What exactly is typography art you ask? Think of it as the art form of using copy, text, or lettering to convey certain emotions. The font styling, size, shape, color, and placement of text can be manipulated in infinite ways through creative and imaginative techniques. The selection between blue font and black font, serif vs. san serif, bold vs. italic, and 12pt font vs. 60pt font can all elicit different interpretations. Don’t forget letter-spacing and line-spacing either! Think of some of the most iconic global brands and how a very specific arrangement of the lettering is used to associate that brand’s values and voice with the public. When done right, the presentation of a single word or selection of words can be very powerful.
Minted’s collection of typography art prints celebrates many different techniques for displaying art through words. We have over 100 limited-edition wall hangings that celebrate clever sayings or poems in whimsical handwritten script, photography of street signs or business marquees, and artistic arrangements of colorful letters and words. Some of our word wall art designs can be enhanced further by choosing to have them printed in luxe gold, silver, or rose gold foil. Have a favorite poem, song lyric, or quote that resonates with you? Or perhaps you want to frame your wedding vows behind glass? Personalize some of our typography art designs to share the words that have the most meaning for you.
WHO ARE OUR ARTISTS BEHIND THESE TYPOGRAPHY ART PRINTS?
All the art and stationery designs found on Minted are sourced from independent artists located around the world. That’s right, artists located in more than 100 countries contribute their unique designs to our online marketplace that marries diverse and modern designs with customers who appreciate fresh and original looks for their home decor.
Our technique for collecting artist’s submissions is unique in its own right. Throughout the year we host design challenges and invite all artists to submit their work based on certain criteria and guidelines. A public vote is then hosted which helps us determine the fan-favorite artwork that we should then sell on our site. As customers discover and purchase their favorite piece of art, a portion of the sale is given back to the contributing artist. Minted’s expertise in printing, manufacturing, marketing, and customer service helps contributing artists focus on their craft, while we guarantee their artwork will arrive at a customer’s doorstep with the highest standards and quality are brand has come to be known for.
As you shop our site, we encourage you to learn more about each of our contributing artists. When you find a piece of artwork that catches your eye, scroll through to the “about the artist” section to discover where the artist is from, what inspires them, and what design techniques they are fond of. Many of our artists even set up virtual storefronts on our site where you can shop more designs they have contributed to our site. Some artists even share photos of their studio or workplace so you can better understand where and how your typography wall art was created. This added layer of visibility into the artists that create the work you are purchasing will hopefully make your particular wall decor selection feel that much more special!
UNIQUE OPTIONS AND STYLES
When it comes to art selection, we realize that it is important that our designs are not mass-produced. Nobody wants a wall hanging that everyone on their street has in their home. We protect the individuality of our designs by only printing a maximum of 350 prints per size and colorway. Each of our limited-edition pieces of wall art will arrive with a certificate of authenticity outlining your print number.
No matter your individual taste or home decor styling preference, we are confident you will find forms of word wall art on Minted that speaks to you. Many of our designs can be printed in a variety of color themes to best match the decor vision you have in mind. As you begin to brainstorm, please review some of the design styles featured in our collection:
- Words or Letters That Form a Shape: Most words are written in an orderly straight line for ease of reading. Browse through our typography art selection and discover how some words and letters have been creatively arranged in the shape of a boat, rainbow, diamond, or the moon.
- Hand-Drawn Lettering: Just like we all have different fingerprints, we also possess our own unique handwriting. Some people write in small text, while others may prefer cursive. Some writing can appear childish while others appear prestigious. Sort through our collection of artwork with various sayings handwritten in the artist’s one-of-a-kind styling.
- Imagery Combined with Words: Consider typography wall art that features both creative text and beautiful imagery. One art option perfect for the kitchen reads, “Life is sweet” and has hand-drawn desserts stacked between the verbiage. A great option for nursery art or kids art combines doodles of items that all begin with the same letter of the alphabet, and then have that item spelled out in cute childish font as well.
- Photography Highlighting Words: Find enjoyment in how a photographer captures certain letters or words on film. Whether it is a shot of a centuries-old typewriter keyboard, the movie marquee in front of a vintage theater house, or a hand-painted sign hanging from a roadside fruit stand, you will be pleased with the thought-provoking subject matters captured. If looking for more fine art photography options, be sure to dive deeper into our photography art collection.
- Metallic Foil Text: Purchase artwork that shines, literally! Select typography designs can be printed in your option of gold, silver, or rose gold ink. Hang these framed prints in well-lit rooms and enjoy how light reflects off the beautiful and dramatic metallic elements.
- One Big Word: Achieve a modern and minimalist look by selecting typography wall art that depicts just one word. Words like “love”, “home”, or “eat” are universally celebrated and carry significance no matter who you are.
We recommend using the search filters at the top of this page to narrow down your options based on style, color, and shape to best match your home decor preferences. Whether you are looking for artwork to complement a beach theme or rustic vibe, we can help point you in the right direction.

SELECT THE PRINTING FORMAT, SIZE, & FRAME OF YOUR TYPOGRAPHY ART
Once you have landed on a piece of typography wall art you wish to purchase, it’s time to select how you would like it to be arranged. We understand that every home and wall is different, so we provide you with plenty of options to achieve the final look to match your aesthetic. Below we have summarized the key design elements you can manipulate.
- Art Print or Canvas: Choose to have your art selection printed on art gallery-grade paper and framed behind glass or have it hand-stretched on canvas. Do keep in mind that all our foil designs must be printed on paper to achieve the metallic effect.
- Pick a Size: We have over a dozen different print sizes to select from ranging from a small 5” x 7” configuration to a large 44” x 60” statement piece. With so many sizes to choose from, we want to make it as easy as possible for you to find both the small accent wall hanging for your spare bathroom and the large wall decor option for your entryway that greets guests to your home.
- Select Your Frame: At Minted, we want to make sure the frame that surrounds your art is just as special as the artwork itself. We have spent considerable attention on providing up-leveled and stylish framing options to select from. With over 15 options listed, choose from frames hand-crafted in Italy, frames made from beautiful mango wood, and even metal frames with a modern matte finish. Pick a frame that best accompanies the word wall art design you have chosen.
