I draw fonts for a living.

For the past few years, I have been a part of a typographic travel event in northern Italy called TipoItalia. It’s a two-week creative residency where you’ll have the chance to do letterpress printing, tour cool cities looking at hand-painted signs, and visit museums that hold AMAZING historical printed posters and books all devoted to Italian typography, culminating with a new digital font you will design yourself with the help of expert instructors.

This year we are offering two scholarships. If you — or a student or colleague — might benefit, I encourage you to apply and share the opportunity. The application deadline is March 1. Visit tipoitalia.net for all the details.

Can we have ICTVC 2026?
Could anyone here help with some hi-res, or even mid-res, images of Ladislas Mandel's Galfra? I'm giving a presentation and would like to show it (as well as the obvious Bell Centennial) as an example of size-specific adjustments to type design, but in the case of Galfra, it's virtually impossible to find anything usable online.

Next week Thursday evening we’re gonna give a lecture at Type & Faces in London. A many-sided evening with other talks by Shaqa @shaqabovand Bovand, William @mntrs Montrose & Ignacio Casco. Join us if you’re around!

Type&Faces

Welcome to Type&Faces! We are a new monthly design event celebrating all things type, design, and everything in between.

ATypI Tehran, who’s with me?
What's the latest craze in project management apps? The play-everything-by-ear days are sadly coming to an end. I'm grateful for any recommendations. 🙏
