How did you discover typography and decide that it could become your job?
I first came into practising typography at the age of only 14. I was looking for something, anything, to do other than play video games which I had become completely bored of. I begin by learning copperplate calligraphy, then hand lettering, and finally type design and graphic design at University here in Cardiff, UK.
Do you have some advice for a young designer who would like to get started with font design?
I get this question on Instagram almost everyday and my advise is always the same: follow your interest and fully immerse yourself into the process of type design and the culture surrounding it. Read books, take courses, and fall in love.
Where do you find inspiration for new typeface creation?
Inspiration can come from anywhere, you just have to be open to receiving it. I’ve been exploring 3D lettering for over 2 years now and I continually got asked if there were any font’s out there similar to what I was drawing. VERSA was borne to fill that void whilst being versatile enough to be used across a multitude of applications.
You made yourself a reputation for layered font, what do you like about layered fonts in particular?
The layered font gives the user a whole other lever ( pun intended 😉 ) of creative options. Seeing the font used by designers all over the world in creative ways I didn’t even think of during production has been so rewarding.
You recently released Versa, a 3D font family, can you tell us more about it?
Versa is a seventeen layered font family. It’s the first font ever that includes a variable depth, meaning it’s not only 3D but the user can decide just how much they want the word to pop of the page! The 3D design follows a tradition rooted in sign painting whilst its geometric forms allows the font to be very versatile, hence the name VERSA. The font is available in three packages Basic, Pro, & Advanced, each providing a different amount of font files at a corespoinding price making the font accessible to everyone from lettering hobbyists to multinational creative agencies. https://www.versafont.com/
What are the challenges of starting your own type foundry?
There are many challenges to starting your own type foundry. Similar to a vineyard it takes a while to produce just one product and even longer to build a reputation for quality products. It’s definitely a long game but I enjoy the process and find typeface design a great project to work on between lettering & logo design client projects.
And now for a classic question, any favorite typeface?
My favourite font of all time is akzidenz grotesk. Despite being released in the late 1800’s it remains a workhorse of a sans serif and influenced the most famous font ever Helvetica.
You never know where the next Grand Debate™ in front-end is going to come from! Case in point: we just saw one recently based on a little Twitter poll by Max Stoiber in which 57% of people got it wrong. There were reactions ranging from the innocuous hey fun a little brain teaser! to the state of web education is in shambles and beyond.
I heard from a number of folks that they just felt sad that so many people don’t know the answer to a fairly simple question. To be fair, it was (intentionally, I’m sure) rather tricky! It wasn’t really a question about CSS — it was more about the idea that the order of HTML attributes doesn’t matter. It’s the order of CSS that does.
One extreme response I saw said that front-end stuff like this is needlessly complicated and getting it wrong is almost a point of pride. This sentiment was so strong that I heard it suggested that people who know the answer have filled their brains with useless information and that somehow makes them a worse developer. Equally extreme were suggestions that writing HTML and CSS raw like that should always be avoided in favor of tooling abstractions to „fix” these „problems.”
(Excuse the quotes there, I’m not trying to pick a side so much as to emphasize that not everyone considers these problems that need to be fixed.)
Another take was that the vibe would be different if something similar happened in JavaScript-land. The perception is that it’s embarrassing or bad not to know JavaScript basics, but not knowing HTML and CSS basics is the fault of the language, or that the value of knowing it is not worth bothering to understand.
At the same time, this poll became the perfect mirror to see the strong opinions people have about front-end practices. Fascinating, really.
Here are a few more takes from folks who chimed from their own blogs:
I hate that this has somehow become some “old guard” vs. “new guard” thing.
The problem with drawing lines like this: whichever side you find yourself on, there are some whackos out there throwing ridiculous arguments into the mix. And now people on the other side associate that viewpoint with you.
It doesn’t bother me too much that people are getting the question wrong. Everyone is at different stages in their career and everyone has different problems they’re facing in their daily tasks, so sure, not everyone is going to know this yet.
I do find it a bit alarming just how many folks got it wrong though.
One the one hand (and this will somewhat simplify each ‘side’, for the sake of brevity, not disrespect to either), we have those, and I’d on balance probably include myself in this camp, who’d argue that the core technologies of the Web are precisely that–foundational, and a deep understanding of them conceptually (not necessarily an encyclopedic knowledge of every syntactic aspect) is fundamental working knowledge for professional Web developers.

A designer I work with was presenting comps at a recent team meeting. She had done a wonderful job piecing together the concept for a design system, from components to patterns and everything in between that would make any front-end developer happy.
But there was a teeny tiny detail in her work that caught my eye: the hover state for links was a squiggle.
Default link (top) and hover effect (bottom)
Huh! Not only had I not seen that before, the idea had never even crossed my mind. Turns out there are plenty of instances of it on live sites, one being The Outline. That was the one that was implementation that inspired the design.
Cool, I figured. We can do something like a linear background gradient or even a background image. But! That wasn’t the end of the design. Turns out it’s animated as well. Again, from The Outline:
Whoa! That’s pretty wild. I wasn’t sure how to approach that, honestly, because animating any of my initial ideas would be difficult, especially for cross-browser support.
So, how did The Outline do it? Turns out, it’s SVG. We can make a squiggly path and animate it pretty easily:
But that’s kinda crappy because we can’t really animate that. We need better values for that. However, we can inline CSS directly on the SVG in the background-image property. We can’t simply copy and paste the SVG code into the property, but we can with some proper encoding:
And, since SVG can contain its own styles within the markup, the animation can be tossed right there in the background-image property, the same way we would do it with CSS in an HTML document head or inline CSS in HTML.
I have no idea if an animated squiggle makes for a good user experience and, frankly, that’s not the point of this post. The point is that The Outline had a fun idea with a slick CSS implementation.
That got me thinking about other non-standard (perhaps even unconventional) hover styling we can do with links. Again, tossing aside usability and have a grand ol’ time with CSS…
The Border to Background Effect
Maybe that same bottom border on the default link can grow and become the full background of the link on hover:
