Typeface Design

When I was a design student, I was able to spend one summer as a type design apprentice at Dalton Maag. I focused on calligraphy and type life drawing before moving into my final typeface design. I based my own design off of Magpie and Century Schoolbook, aiming to blend the warmth of a humanist face with the clarity and openness of a typeface synonymous with 20th century textbooks. The resulting typeface, named “Charlotte,” won “Merit” in Print Magazine’s Type and Lettering Awards in 2016.
