After a type designer in the UK

i0ta

Just wondering if there is some sort of directory or listing of type designers/foundries in the UK that specialise in creating custom type. Also any recommendations would be great.

Cheers,
i0ta.

Phil Baines is the ATypI’s country delegate for the UK - I’m sure he maintains such a list. Dalton Maag and Monotype UK both have very talented type designers on-staff.

Jeremy Tankard!

please do not forget Nick Cooke !!

I have a UK passport, and have lived in London. Does that rule me in? (Probably not...)

Thanks George, for mentioning me amongst the usual suspects. Custom type is virtually all I do, but I haven’t the public profile of JT or DM or FS!

Nick Cooke

hey nick, do you have a website — I’d be interested to see your folio.

Luke - I’m woefully inadequate in that department, I still haven’t got one. I keep saying ’one of these years’, I’m really quite embarrassed about it. It’s a matter of finding the time to devote the attention it needs.

I see you’re in London - I’m in the smoke at the end of the month if that’s of interest to you?

Nick Cooke

Perhaps Nick. It’s a shame you don’t have a site. Of course, you want it right, but it wouldnt be the biggest deal to put something together. It would certainly help you with work.

Great, thanks very much for the suggestions. Any others?
