(TYPEFACES)
Below is a selection of custom typefaces I'm currently in the process of drawing. I plan on releasing them slowly in the coming year. Come back soon for more updates.
(COMMISSIONED PROJECTS)
I've also worked with brands, agencies, and individuals, from local start-ups to globally operating companies, to craft unique typefaces that integrate with all aspects of branding and visual expression — bringing identities to life that are personal and unique to each client.
