He makes incredible art from his cell. He also made a beautiful, dignified font, named Firdevs. I helped him digitize it. This is the most meaningful work I have done. Recently, an exhibition of his work went up at the Hillstrom Museum of Art in Minnesota. It includes 11 new drawings that he has drawn in prison in the past year. The poster and exhibition catalog use his font, named for his wife, meaning “heaven.” Read his story at The Washington Post. More on its creation at Alphabettes. Get the font here. All proceeds go to the Yazıcı family and Reporters Without Borders.

The multiscript project was commissioned by Wieden + Kennedy for HP+. Several designers worked hard to create an incredible expansion to this formidable typeface: 5 weights in 5 optical sizes. There were a lot of challenges and moving pieces, and they all came together in the end. A million thanks to Khajag Apelian, Tanya George, Wael Morcos, Victoria Rushton, Aleksandra Samuļenkova, Liron Lavi Turkenich, and Knaz Uiyamathiti of Cadson Demak for their expertise! In addition to this expansion, I helped manage the matching of Forma with Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, a Hong Kong regional variant, Japanese, and Korean retail typefaces, with the heavy lifting done by Petr van Blokland and Just van Rossum, and the amazing folks at Arphic, Hanyi, Morisawa, and Sandoll. It was a LOT, and it was done in less than a year, during the worst surge of the pandemic. And oh yeah, I had a baby. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5b2cd975f9ee76014e9893/1644778864282-1IOPRK99OXSF9SMSUKRB/MTV+Gravity+Grotesk+funky+g.png Work 24 styles in three widths and six weights for MTV with branding agency loyalkaspar and Victoria Rushton. Cyrillics by CSTM Fonts.

Starting with NBC’s proprietary typeface, Tinker, I was called in to give it a refresh. I made some optical compensations, corrected the diacritics, added small caps, respaced, and rekerned the 32 styles. No refresh would be complete without top-notch engineering. I called on Glenda Bellarosa, who made sure the typeface was cross-platform compatible and completely futureproof, so that no one would ever need technical support. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5b2cd975f9ee76014e9893/1566355123246-7VF6YFKL947Q2WSIWURN/Waldorf+Astoria+full+set.png Work The Waldorf Astoria is a name synonymous with luxury. Its flagship hotel in New York City is an Art Deco landmark. This exclusive typeface was inspired by the lettering on the building’s facade at 301 Park Avenue, New York, NY. An alternate set of sans serif capitals was made for ADA compliance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5b2cd975f9ee76014e9893/1739986812639-UESVZX8UUYPPEHET5JXN/AJBrown.png Work https://www.kernsandcairns.com/blog daily 0.75 2020-11-18 https://www.kernsandcairns.com/blog/2020/11/16/the-saga-of-apotek monthly 0.5 2020-12-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5b2cd975f9ee76014e9893/1607119551347-PLU63AVZUHPMEN1XD3QT/ApothecaryMuseum.jpg Blog - The Saga of Apotek https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5b2cd975f9ee76014e9893/1607119356726-6Z6GU2UBEWKB4SSA695F/6920398250_e84bdd6358_k.jpg Blog - The Saga of Apotek https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5b2cd975f9ee76014e9893/1607119356518-P8VCP1ZZCQ94UGXW8AQG/6920439138_080f3a1346_k.jpg Blog - The Saga of Apotek https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5b2cd975f9ee76014e9893/1607119379893-MVLETLFRI9RRZU1GK6PY/22994525293_9b79c47d51_o.jpg Blog - The Saga of Apotek https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5b2cd975f9ee76014e9893/1607055407823-41ZTXMRP6OE60VZER3B3/232440401_5fbe2aee11_c.jpg Blog - The Saga of Apotek https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5b2cd975f9ee76014e9893/1607055406591-FYA44IAC9C7YPUM001U4/232440627_48edc941fe_c+%281%29.jpg Blog - The Saga of Apotek https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5b2cd975f9ee76014e9893/1607055406588-CRJ8EYTIO1AE591M7E32/232441294_e91166c03f_c.jpg Blog - The Saga of Apotek https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5b2cd975f9ee76014e9893/1607055470974-G2AZPBAE0BPLOOIQFJAH/232441453_2a08bff79a_c.jpg Blog - The Saga of Apotek https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5b2cd975f9ee76014e9893/1605586065636-OW9SYD7V813954PBYTVV/232440225_36245c4f8c_b.jpg Blog - The Saga of Apotek https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5b2cd975f9ee76014e9893/1607052528607-IBU0MFZ0X2LVOEVMZ9C4/ApotekLC.jpg Blog - The Saga of Apotek No, thank you.

While the lettering on them has been digitized before, I wanted to see what if I could bring something distinctive to this style. While digitizing the width axis, I realized a contrast axis could be an interesting challenge, and Glissade was born. Currently, the uppercase is mostly fleshed out, although it could use some tweaking. I don’t think I’ll be making a lowercase (but I might change my mind). The numbers need a lot of work. Planning to finish it for retail by summer of 2024. Unless some outdoorsy company wants exclusivity, then, feel free to get in touch. https://www.kernsandcairns.com/words daily 0.75 2023-08-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5b2cd975f9ee76014e9893/1540351317558-DMY8B7YQN3PPN5TNBHVQ/Screen+Shot+2018-10-23+at+9.41.40+PM.png Writing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5b2cd975f9ee76014e9893/1560565150293-MQP6YMV3UBJW8WCTCMUS/Screen%2BShot%2B2018-10-23%2Bat%2B9.44.42%2BPM.jpg Writing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5b2cd975f9ee76014e9893/1540351341846-AB22RHYXQRAAHPT5C9WI/Screen+Shot+2018-10-23+at+11.20.00+PM.png Writing https://www.kernsandcairns.com/info-contact daily 0.75 2025-09-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5b2cd975f9ee76014e9893/1542117536991-CE0FEBLP8DAZMYWCFIOB/Dyana+Weissman+Headshot.JPG About Photo by Angelina Rose. https://www.kernsandcairns.com/booking daily 0.75 2023-08-05 https://www.kernsandcairns.com/newsletter daily 0.75 2024-05-04 https://www.kernsandcairns.com/eula daily 0.75 2024-08-21 https://www.kernsandcairns.com/store-2 daily 0.75 2024-08-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5b2cd975f9ee76014e9893/1724264625899-6Y0LJA5D7VDES3ZF2RNS/Screenshot+2024-08-21+at+2.09.15%E2%80%AFPM.png Store https://www.kernsandcairns.com/store-2/glissade monthly 0.5 2024-08-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5b2cd975f9ee76014e9893/b94f9f4c-ca01-49fb-a2ec-4696c6c0350b/Screenshot+2024-08-21+at+2.09.15%E2%80%AFPM.png Store - Glissade Variable Font
