Hello, I’m Elliot — a designer, author, and typography enthusiast. You might know my work with Google Fonts & Adobe Fonts, or the magazines 8 Faces & Lagom.
My forthcoming book
I’ve recently finished writing and designing my new book, Universal Principles of Typography, which will be published by Quarto in spring 2024. The book’s foreword has been written by Ellen Lupton.
I’m once again teaching my 3-week Typography Masterclass for SmashingConf in May. Come and learn typography with me!
My podcast
Hello, Type Friends! is a podcast, on which I sit down with a friend for an informal chat about life, work, and, well... whatever comes up. No script. No plans. And no Bézier curves.
