In their own words
A sort of dangerous femininity, that isn’t gentle but very raw and unapologetically seductive.
Type isn’t just functional – when mixed with equally strong, beautifully art directed images, you can get truly stunning results.
We commission type designers to create custom fonts to release through our foundry. We work collaboratively with them, giving them creative and technical feedback.
Continuous collaboration was the way forward, and it’s been like that ever since.
As the foundry grows as well, we want to explore scholarships, funding of some kind, to help provide opportunities to underrepresented groups who wish to learn type design.
