I can’t remember exactly what piece of work attracted me to Von’s work, but I have followed him ever since. If pressed to recall, I’d say I’ve been a fan for about 15 years.

In this episode I had the honor of catching up Ms. Debbie Millman. She needs no introduction, and I conveniently dodge the intro because it’s quite long.

On a whim I reached to James after I spotted his Hobeaux type design. It struck me as bold that he’d attempt to brush up a typeface that had been relegated to The Land of Misfit Fonts. Then I read his journey leading up to and through the redesign and fell in love with the […]
