160I’ve been thinking about letters and drawing letters for as long as
161            I can remember. Not so much as building blocks of language, but for
162            the particular and peculiar forms they take on in the physical
163            world.
164</p> <p data-astro-cid-cmztyxci>
165I had a few <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girder_and_Panel_building_sets" data-astro-cid-cmztyxci>Kenner® building sets</a> when I was a kid. You could build skyscrapers, or bridges, or anything
166            you wanted. One set was for building houses. It included a little red
167            plastic TV antenna you could attach to a roof on your little houses. It
168            looked like an “H”, or an “I” depending on which way you turned it. With
169            two of them, you could spell the word “HI”.
170</p> <p data-astro-cid-cmztyxci>
171Something about this must have planted a seed in my imagination. My
172            elementary school papers were covered in doodles of the word “HI”
173            drawn in different styles. I was partial to the triangular serifs of
174            the Latin type they used in <em data-astro-cid-cmztyxci>Mad</em> magazine.

176Something else that goes way back for me is an almost synesthetic
177            feeling about letters, that they have distinct attitudes and
178            personalities, as if each letter is like a face. The letter “e”
179            looks like it’s smiling. The letter “a” looks alert. The letter “E”
180            has a sort of grimace. I’m convinced that it’s this feeling I have
181            about letters that makes it easy for me to recognize different
182            typefaces, as easily as most people recognize other people.

185I drew pictures all the time when I was a kid. I sat at the coffee
186            table in front of the TV, watching <em data-astro-cid-cmztyxci>The Flintstones</em> and <em data-astro-cid-cmztyxci>Batman,</em> a sheaf of discarded paper my dad brought home from work placed over
187            a magazine to protect the table, drawing pictures of cartoon dogs and
188            cars. I wanted to be some kind of artist or cartoonist when I grew up.
189            I was always the “best drawer” in my class. I was encouraged by two uncles,
190            one from each side of my family. My uncle Bill painted wildlife, did sign-painting
191            and cartooning, and worked as a printer. My uncle Knut went to art school
192            and became a graphic designer. Art seemed to be my calling.
193</p> <p data-astro-cid-cmztyxci>
194My dad was an engineer. I spent a lot of time with him in his
195            basement workshop, watching him make things and fix things. He had a
196            habit of explaining to me how things work. He was very much a
197            do-it-yourselfer. I don’t have a tool-filled workshop like he did,
198            but his love of gadgets and technical know-how definitely rubbed off
199            on me.
200</p> <p data-astro-cid-cmztyxci>
201All of this somehow led to my interest in designing typefaces. It
202            takes both artistic skills and technical skills to make a font. I
203            put on the beret when I’m dreaming of new typefaces, and insert the
204            pocket protector when I sit down at the computer to start building a
205            font.

207I didn’t start out my career making fonts. It was a daydream that
208            began when I was in college in the mid-seventies. I became aware
209            that designing typefaces was a thing one could do. My early attempts
210            were feeble, but I kept practicing and dreaming while I spent
211            several decades being a magazine art director or designing packaging
212            and brochures.
213</p> <p data-astro-cid-cmztyxci>
214I didn’t make fonts full-time until I was well into in my forties.
215            So, I’m kind of a late bloomer. I like to think that the years I
216            spent as a designer using fonts gave me an appreciation for what
217            designers look for in a font. It also taught me that fonts are tools
218            for making things, not ends in themselves. My attitude about
219            licensing reflects this, so you won’t find restrictions in my
220            license about using my fonts in logos or on t-shirts.
