Passion for Type

My very good pal Doug Wilson did this video interview with me last year, and side from the sound of my chest hair rasping against the microphone, I really like how it turned out.

Unfortunately, it languished a while since Monotype cancelled the initiative this was for. Some things that are out of date:

  • I don’t live in that little apartment anymore. It was a great place on E. 58th St, but it was an illegal sublet of a rent-stabilized studio, and I had to move out when the landlord found out. After that, I lived in Crown Heights for about 8 months — in the same building where I lived 9 years ago, even — but it was super annoying. I now live in a great little apartment in Inwood that I just bought. So I guess I’m an adult now that I have a mortgage.

  • I’m not Monotype’s Type Director anymore. Or at least, I won’t be after next Friday, since I recently resigned. I’m going to hang out and work on my own typefaces for a while, and probably do some freelance work if anyone needs some help.

  • I have a few of new tattoos on my right forearm.
