It feels like everyone is jumping through hoops attempting to define and redefine taste so as to position it as the moat against AI. But it’s honestly so much simpler than that.

I want to expand on this more another time. But lately I’ve been using AI (or the concept of using AI) as a litmus test for entitlement.

New @Morning_Type website is coming along! Feeling really excited to finally get some fonts for sale (even if they aren’t quite finished yet).

I’ve realized that I’ve been working on Gray for 10 years now. 10 years! Instead of letting it continue to collect dust on my computer, I am preparing an early release of it as an in-progress font. Join the newsletter to get notified of the site refresh and upcoming beta fonts.

I’ve been watching the original Bewitched series, and the practical effects and the writing are so refreshingly good.

Here’s a look at just about every logotype I have worked on. Most used, some unused, and a few director’s cuts.
