Stephen Coles

typographer and writer

Typographica

Stephen Coles’s obsession with typography wreaks havoc in his daily life where he is routinely mocked for analyzing the type on menus and tripped by fire hydrants while admiring vintage signs. Fortunately, his freakish knowledge of typefaces found a home at FontShop where he served as type director from 2004–2010. After giving up that post, he joined FSI’s TypeBoard responsible for reviewing submissions to the world-renowned FontFont library. Coles is also a writer and typographer, consulting for a variety of foundries and design studios. His personal projects include Typographica.org, a review of typefaces and type books; and The Mid-Century Modernist, the vessel for his second passion, furniture. Coles works out of his cat’s home in Oakland, California.
