10 Procreate Brush Sets to Level Up your Lettering

If you always default to the same couple of lettering brushes, or you feel stuck in a rut with your typographic style, it could be time to add some new tools to your Procreate library. Experimenting with different materials can unlock surprising creative inspirations, so here’s a list of Procreate brush bundles that I think could lead to really exciting lettering pieces. You’ll find a wide variety of textures and styles, from my favourite chalk brushes to graffiti and neon.

 

Standard Pens


Standard Pens for Procreate

Designer: RetroSupply
Price: $19

Inspired by vintage comic books, this set of 11 ink brushes plus 6 spray stamps is intentionally designed to bring a retro inked feel to your work. There are options for drawing smooth lines too, but if you love the look of ink bleeds, natural flaws, and gritty textures, that’s where this collection really comes into its own.

Procreate Brush Script Brushes and Worksheets

Designer: Ian Barnard
Price: $19

If you like the Streaks brush in the Procreate Calligraphy library, this set will feel like a natural fit! There are 10 different script brushes, each with an individual brush texture, great for a fluid lettering style. I’ve also created bonus textures so that you can easily add a metallic effect (gold, silver and rose gold) or an impressive colour gradient to your work. This pack is also a good starting point if you’re fairly new to Procreate, with practice worksheets included to help you achieve perfect uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers.

Freestyler Pack

Freestyler Procreate Pack

Designer: Ian Barnard
Price: $19

When you want to pull together an eclectic mix of styles that will also complement each other for a lettering piece… these are my favourites. I’ve included brushes from smooth monoline to uneven edges, with shadow effects, patterns, and paper textures. Some of these brushes will instantly add a distinctive style to your pen strokes, while others build on each other (there’s a detailed manual to guide you through). With a focus on 3D lettering and doodles, you’ll be able to add paper planes, flags and clouds to your work too.
