Joseph Churchward (foundry: Churchward Type) was born and raised in Samoa. He moved to New Zealand at age 13 and attended Wellington Technical College. There he concentrated on art and especially lettering. He then went on to work as a commercial artist at Charles Haines Advertising for 12 years before setting up Churchward International Typefaces in 1969. His first breakthrough was not long in coming. Berthold Fototype accepted several of his first typefaces for distribution and continued to add Churchward’s new designs to their catalogue for many years. He later went on to sign distribution agreements with D.Stempel AG, Dr Böger Photosatz GmbH/Linotype, Mecanorma-Polyvroom B.V and Zipatone. Churchward International Typefaces published a handful of original fonts in 1978 being the first and only company in New Zealand to publish original photo lettering. Now officially retired, he continues to create unique alphabets and has over 300 original faces to his name.

Verena Gerlach was born in Berlin and studied Visual Communication at Kunsthochschule Berlin Weißensee.

Shortly after finishing art school in 1998, she founded her own studio (fraugerlach) for graphic design, type design and typography. As well as all kinds of typographic print works and type design, Verena also art directed several video clips and worked on the typographic production for international contemporary artists.

Verena gives lectures and workshops about the type and graphic design all over the globe. She also works as a freelance book designer for different art book publishers.

New Zelek Pro by Threedotstype:

Designed by Bronisław Zelek, the most popular Polish analog-era typeface is finally back and Pro, even though it never went out of fashion. Back in the days, New Zelek was commonly used in the only right advertising in communist Poland. Then it went international. You might have seen this typeface on some famous music album covers. 

Bronisław Zelek, the legendary artist of the Polish School of Posters, is presently a painter – visit his website at bronislawzelek.com.

Originally conceived as a dry transfer for the French company Mecanorma in 1974, the font gets a digital adaptation consulted with the author after more than 40 years. Contains Latin and Cyrillic characters. An Arabic version will be released in the middle of 2018. The typeface has a large kerning table - more than 9000 pairs and many additional characters that were not present in the analog version. Connected and unconnected versions allow for creative solutions when using letters with diacritical marks.

Nadine Chahine

Dr. Nadine Chahine is a renowned Lebanese type designer, presently working as the Arabic specialist at Linotype and Monotype Imaging in Germany. Motivated by her love for her native Beirut and a desire to improve typographic design, she was recently named as one of Fast Company Magazine’s ‘100 Most Creative People in Business’. Nadine studied graphic design at the American University of Beirut and has a Master’s Degree in typeface design from the University of Reading, UK. During her studies at Reading, she focused on the relationship between Arabic and Latin scripts and the possibilities of creating a harmonious relationship between the two.

Through her PhD research, Nadine focused on legibility studies for the Arabic script, with an eye to improving literacy in the Arab world. Her typeface Koufiya was the first to include matching Arabic and Latin parts. She has won numerous awards, including the Dean’s Award for Creative Achievement from the American University of Beirut in 2000, and the Award for Excellence in Type Design from the Type Directors Club of New York in 2008 and 2011.

Carol Twombly

Carol Twombly is an American type designer, and calligrapher. She was born in Concord,  Massachusetts, USA on June 13 in the year of 1959. In her earlier years, she went to the Rhode Island School of Design, originally for sculpture, but later graduated for graphic design. She also went to Stanford University, where she graduated with Masters of Science degrees in computer science and typographic design.  About this decision Carol says, according to Adobe.com, “I discovered that communicating through graphics – by placing black shapes on a white page – offered a welcome balance between freedom and structure.” Though graphic design became her career focus, Carol hasn’t abandoned her other artistic pursuits, which include basket-weaving, drawing, painting, and jewelry making. In 1988, Twombly joined Adobe and designed Adobe’s first original display typefaces (Trajan, Charlemagne and Lithos), among several others. But in 1999, she retired and is currently an independent artist, specializing in drawing, painting on textiles, beading and basket-making.

Paula Scher

Paula Scher is a contemporary American artist and graphic designer best known for her posters, logo designs, and album covers. In her paintings, Scher portrays large-scale maps filled with intricate lettering that indicate political and societal connections between countries and regional borders. “The job of the designer is to make things understandable, usable, accessible, enjoyable, and important to a public, that involves the public,” she has explained. Born on October 6, 1948 in Washington, D.C., she went on to study at the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia before moving to New York, where she worked as a layout artist for Random House. In the years that followed, Scher held positions at both Atlantic Records and CBS Records, during which time she received four Grammy nominations for her album designs. The artist later joined Pentagram, a design consulting firm in New York, where she continues to live and work. Today, Scher’s works are held in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, among others.

Jessica Hische

Jessica Nicole Hische (born April 4, 1984) is an American lettering artist, illustrator, author, and type designer. She was one of the first of a new generation of letterers and the present-day flourishing of the lettering arts can in part be traced back to her emergence.

She published In Progress: See Inside a Lettering Artist's Sketchbook and Process, from Pencil to Vector in September 2015, which gives insight to her creative process and work she has completed as a hand-lettering artist. She has written and illustrated two New York Times best-selling children's books: Tomorrow I'll be Brave (2018) and Tomorrow I'll be Kind (2019). She has spoken at over 100 conferences worldwide.

Johnson Witehira

Dr. Johnson Witehira is recognized as an expert on Māori design. His practice focuses on how customary Māori knowledge and ways of thinking can be applied in contemporary settings. His writings on Māori design have been published in world-leading design journals and books including; Visible Language (University of Cincinnati), The Graphic Design Reader (Bloomsbury), Novum (Munich) and Monocle (London). As a practising designer Witehira has worked with Māori tribal groups, community organizations and Government agencies to instigate design solutions that effect positive change in people, practice and place. Within academia Witehira’s research focuses on decolonizing design education. He is at the forefront of developing bi-cultural and Māori responses to teaching design. As an artist Witehira’s practice combines three areas of interest; technology, identity and post-colonial theory. His digitally-focused artworks have been shown globally through a number of exhibitions, the most prominent being his Toi Māori x Times Square project which was displayed simultaneously on 36 screens in Times Square, New York.
