My name's Rute (or Ru), I'm 20+ and I've been a freelance letterer since 2025.I love manga and collecting it, as well as merch and cute things!In 2025, I started my lettering journey with Star Fruit Books, and have now also worked with Devir (Portugal), B-Love (Germany), BluPetal (US), as well as some exciting projects TBA. I hope to expand my portfolio to other publishers in the future!Portfolio will be updated whenever I’m able to reveal new work, but in the meantime I’m always available to take any skill assessment tests, if deemed necessary, as well as answering any questions that may arise!ANN page
