Shownotes Transcript

Rerun summer continues! In this timely episode from way back in 2022, Future Fonts co-founder and all around rad person Lizy Gershenzon joined Sean to talk pieces of flair, the opposite of missed connections, and The Rainbow Passage. We’re going back to high school and making font magic in an episode that’s got milk—just not in an officially licensed form.

Since this episode came out way back in early 2022, Lizy and Travis have launched the Vectro Type Foundry), home of favorites like the acclaimed Chartwell, Kicker, and Whoa, but also home to new fantastic faces like the incredible Kablammo—check them out and give them a download! Lizy and Travis, along with fellow co-founder James Edmundson of Ohno Type Co., co-founded Future Fonts, where you can get experimental typefaces while they're still in development and help support their creators through the process! It's one of the best places to find new and emerging type, and a great place to start for someone who's new to type and wanting to find out how fun it can be first hand. Check them out at futurefonts.xyz), or at the Future Fonts and Friends event!
