Hello, I'm Erick, a graphic designer from California living in Italy. I've been a graphic designer for about 10+ years. Let's break that down: I started as a novice graphic designer in high school, a few months before graduating high school I started a freelance business and worked as a freelance designer and video editor. Went to school for Graphic Design, received a degree in 2018, and now I'm working for a start-up where I've been working as the creative director for about 5 years. My favorite font is Hitchcock, which is reminiscent of the golden age of film era when Saul Bass, my favorite graphic designer, was in his prime. My favorite typeface is a trickier answer, but Futura/Helvetica are some of my favorites.

I'm Wesley. I have a longstanding love-affair with books, but less with type, so I thought I'd join you to see if I could get some education on the topic. My favourite font is Papyrus. I would never use it, but there's something that resonates deeply with me. The writing I self-publish is all written in Markdown, translated to LaTeX and then compiled. Purists will probably be horrified, but I find it easy to get above average results with very close to no time spent on formatting.

I am Cleveland Sparrow from D.C USA and am glad to have joined this community. I haven't found my favorite typeface yet per say, however I am looking forward to learning more and finding one. I'll share an update when that moment happens haha. I have experience as a graphic designer and web developer. I've always been interested in the development of characters and create fonts or comic elements. This community really sparked my interest, and look forward to seeing it grow.

Hello everyone. My name is Ryan. I live in the US. It is difficult to name a favorite typeface as there are so many I like. Also, it depends on the application. I like Tungsten for headlines. Baskerville for body copy is quite nice, but I also find myself using Surveyor a lot. I started out as an editor at a publishing house about 15 years ago, but over time I became more of a designer (illustrated non-fiction titles). I've also gotten involved with branding in recent years (hotels, restaurants) but book design is still my bread and butter. Thanks to Kris for setting up this community where a bunch of type nerds can meet. Looking forward to connecting.
