For over 20 years, Dyana Weissman has been working with clients across various industries such as Comedy Central, Disney, Ford, Microsoft, the MoMA, and The Washington Post. She was the Director of Custom Type at Type Network, where she managed and created large multiscript families in traditional static and variable font formats. Before that, she was Senior Custom Designer at The Font Bureau.
Her approach to work is influenced by humanity itself: she aims to make genuine connections with clients, and believes that the most memorable designs are endearingly imperfect. She stretches her other creative muscles by writing for Typographica and Alphabettes, taking photographs, and promoting independent film. She stretches her literal muscles by hiking as often as she can.
An asterism is three asterisks printed to draw attention to a passage. Much like a cairn draws attention to a passage in the woods, helping hikers navigate to their destination. Whatever your typographic challenge is, she will help you find your way.
