Regarding the CIA’s usage of our typefaces: the licensing was purchased directly through our online shop by their agency. We had no advance knowledge of this use, and no part in their redesign in any way.

Young designers: please please please don’t write “I would even be happy to work for you for free” in a job application. While it’s very flattering to hear, it’s unhealthy for you, us, and the industry at large.

We don’t care about “what you have down your pants”. But we live in a world of systemic racism and sexism. And so we do care about fighting systemic inequality and creating a more level playing field for all. Because it is the right thing AND it makes for better type design.

I disagree with this. Who cares what you have down your pants? Or how “you identify yourself”? The only thing that matters is if your work is special in any way. More context: Grilli Type is doing Type reviews, they basically inspect your typeface or font and you give feedback
