SERVICES
My primary focus as a type designer is helping others produce their own fonts and word marks at whatever stage of development they might be in.
I tailor my services to what the specific project needs. I work with clients to identify where the project currently stands, define where it needs to go, and draw out a map on how to get there.
It can take a lot of time to compete a font, that’s where I come in. I use a relable group of processes and tools that I’ve learned over the years to help get your project completed efficiently, accurately, and with the highest quality.
Visual Audit
If you have a logotype or a font and want a set of experienced eyes to put it to the test to see what can be improved or changed as far as weight, spacing, contrast, proportions, etc. we can help. We take a look at your work and write comprehensive notes that you can then take to make edits as you see fit.
Technical Audit
We can take what we learned in the visual audit and implement them. From basic things like spacing and balancing curves to more technical things like vertical metrics and naming, we can take your font idea and make it into a properly operating font.
Typeface Production
If you have a single weight or style font already, we can help you flesh it out. In this process we can create a fuller characterset from a limited one, or other weights to create a full typeface. Whatever your vision, we are here to help.
Bespoke Wordmark
Creating lettering for wordmarks, we can use our type design skills and create the ideal wordmark solution for your brand. We make sure the wordmark reflects brand values and also performs well in a technical sense for the media it needs to. We test and retest our solutions to make sure they can be relied upon.
Customize Libre Fonts
Maybe your are working on something for a client where they may not have the budget or time to develop a typeface, that doesn't mean you necessarily need to use a completely off the rack solution. We can help by customizing open source and libre fonts to suit your or your client's needs.
Custom Typefaces
If you or your client do have the means and the time to develop a typeface, a custom solution can be right for you. Custom fonts can range from just a lowercase or upper case alphabet, to an entire multi-weight, multi-style family, to anywhere in between. We help you discover what you really need for your purposes, and we include you at every stage of the process.
Workshops
Type design and lettering can sometimes feel a bit intimidating. I like to dispel that notion by sharing our knowledge with individuals and teams. I have been teaching type design as part of my typography course at the University of New Haven for the past three years and am able to teach core concepts of type design in an efficient and approachable way.
