Type designer Chris Skillern joins Sean to talk about his design mistakes, as well as forgotten Saturday morning kids shows, circle drawing, and Italic character sets.
You can find Chris’ work on the web at tulseytype.com, or on Instagram as @tulseytype. There, you can find links to Chokecherry, Chris’ blend of midcentury-modern whimsy with Cherokee syllabary support, at FutureFonts. You can see the Cherokee syllabary families Chris has been working on most recently—November Cherokee, November Stencil Cherokee, October Cherokee, and Lava Cherokee—over at Typotheque’s website. If you’re interested in more of the process that went into this work, Chris walked through both his research into the Cherokee syllabary and development in an recent article for Typotheque.
DID I DO THAT? AT AIGA DESIGN CONFERENCE:
Did I Do That? is going to be covering this year’s AIGA Design Conference from October 9–11 at the Westin Bonaventure in Los Angeles!
Long-time listeners know that the community around AIGA Design Conference has been a huge part of this show’s evolution—from all the way back in season 2 when I talked with Lee-Sean Huang at the 2023 conference in Seattle to performing Fontroversy with Lena Hall as part of last year’s mainstage conference program. It’s rare to get to participate in a national platform and share space with folks in this field from all over the United States, and even more special to be a part of it. This year’s theme about the intersection of design and performance couldn’t be more spot on for this show, so if you like silly stuff like this about design, this just might be the gathering for you.
Listeners of this show can use the code 25DIDIDOTHAT15 at checkout to take 15% off your registration for the conference. Plus, it lets all the folks at AIGA know that you came from here. Win win!
It’s going to be a great time—hope to see you in LA this October!
