A cool interactive exploration of an age old question: do people get more conservative as they age?

Working on something new, a stencil font with multi color possibilities. What do y’all think? What uses might this be good for?

Designing across different media – type design, product design – a lot changes, but so much is the same. No matter what you are designing, when you're feeling stuck, you can call on the same tools to get un-stuck.

I’m excited to see what people make using Peasy. When type designers release their work to the world, it’s really only the first step. A font only becomes complete when people use it in their designs.

Peasy is a humanist sans serif in roman and italic styles, six weights, and just a little contrast between thick and thin strokes. It works at text sizes, with small caps, old style figures, and a few ‘primary school’ alternative forms, like a single story ‘a’ and curvy ‘y.’

I put type design aside in 2020, during a dark time when so many of us lost motivation for activities we had enjoyed before. At the beginning of this year, I picked it up again with new enthusiasm – it was so fun (and surprisingly soothing) to be designing typefaces again.

I spent a year learning the ins and outs of type design theory, history, and practice. I also learned how amazing it felt to bring my lifelong love for typography, fonts, and graphic design to the act of designing type itself.

I’m excited to announce the release of my first original font design into the world! It’s called Peasy, and it has been a labor of love, sweat, and tears. Peasy got its start in 2018, when I was a student in the Type@Cooper West extended program in SF.
