Hello! It’s re-introduction time! I’m Jesse, half of XYZ Type. I designed several of the typefaces that we sell: Aglet, Study, and Export. I’m currently finishing up Escalator, Elevator, and Cedar. I also worked on Cortado and Polymode with Ben, my business partner. In addition to developing fonts for retail sale, I design a lot of custom typefaces and logotype lettering for clients, mostly branding agencies.
I co-founded the
@coopertype program in 2010, then taught there for its first four years. And before that, I got my start in the early ’00s working with
@hoeflerco and Font Bureau.
After living in Brooklyn for half of my life, two years ago I moved 90 minutes up the river to Beacon, New York. I’ve discovered a new love for hiking and a much quieter life than I had in NYC. But I still like seeing people—let me know if you’re in town!
