An Update for Hubano

An Update for Hubano

Now available, Hubano 2.0! I added two more weights, some additional glyphs and symbols—plus many fixes and tweaks. I'm excited that this one has a lot more versatility now that just the single, thin weight it launched with. Hubano is an all-caps display serif inspired

Hubano 2 Pre-Release

I've taken some time to revisit Hubano, my display serif inspired by some lettering found on a Cuban cigar box. Initially, it was a single weight that matched the lettering, but it was rather thin. Great for some situations, but limited! I've added two additional, thicker

When I was 19 or 20, my favorite band was Uncle Tupleo. I remember shaking Jeff Tweedy's hand before a show at Club Babyhead in Providence, Rhode Island some 30 years ago. I'm sure I thanked him for the music and the inspriration. I went on

Free Lunch

I think the first letter I drew for Free Lunch was the C. I wanted one that had a “tight bite” (clearly an actual typographic term). Like it’s really chomping down on itself. I love the attitude it projects. I guess I love chompy Cs. From that initial C,

Grandsans

I have been a lifelong Red Sox fan, and Fenway Park has always been a special place for me and my family going back generations. We’re even season ticket holders as of last year. The type around the historic park has always been inspirational. Thick, cream-colored, painted letters

Simple Type Co.

Simple Type Co.

At the beginning of the pandemic, I decided to channel my existential anxiety into a long-standing goal of designing a typeface. It would actually be a second attempt, as back in 2007 I'd hacked together a pixel font based on little 16×16 icons. That one doesn&
