Up and to the right

Whether it’s sending the lettering in the opposite direction by blocking down and to the left (the direction that blocking feels most natural to me), or shearing the line of text that way - up and to the right is a rule you will see my art follow in a bunch of different interpretations.

You might be interested to know; I learnt the technical term blocking out type from a signwriter. Prior to that, I’d referred to my art as block letters, but I didn’t know there was a technical term for them. Blocking letters down and to the left has practical benefits for signwriters and is the most common way to block letters in signage. Without knowing this, I have always naturally gravitated towards blocking down and to the left as I simply just find it easier.
