Hello, type friends!

Elliot sits down with Ty Finck — an old friend in internet terms — to talk about making music regularly, liberating his last foundry to Google Fonts, his F-Bombs project, and — a recurrent theme this season — the woes of social media.

Elliot sits down with James Edmondson of OH no Type Co. — whose typefaces Degular and Swear are used in Elliot’s new book and indeed the branding for this podcast — to talk about the realities of launching and growing a type foundry, making his own bass guitars, stealing good ideas, and a bit of reminiscing about the good ol’ CSS Zen Garden.

Elliot sits down with Francis Chouquet, a type designer, lettering artist, printmaker, and former web designer who’s based just outside of Basel, Switzerland, to talk about the weekly schedule that enforces time away from screens, using physically distinct locations to do different kinds of creative work, and how he’s grown his audience via his newsletter, The Typochondriac Weekly.

The book Francis mentions in this episode is How to Do Nothing, by Jenny Odell. He and Elliot also mention the newsletters and membership programme run by Craig Mod.

Elliot sits down outside a pub in Bristol with designer and lettering artist Emma Luczyn, who was responsible for Elliot’s hand-lettered logo. They talk about Emma’s journey as a self-prescribed black sheep in a non-creative family, budgeting sensibly as an art student, delaying getting a ‘real job’ in order to travel, moving from print design to web design to lettering, and how her family life has come about as a direct result of her creative pursuits. Warning: as well as some NSFW language in this one, there’s an actual mention of Bézier curves. Please forgive us.

Elliot sits down for a cup of tea at Erik Spiekermann’s house in London to discuss his successes and failures, his latest typeface neue Serie57®, the relationship between paper and screen, and why Frutiger could very well be the typeface Erik takes to a desert island. Warning: lots of swearing!
