Learn from our family of type guys.
The Type Guys have been fortunate to have worked with many revered industry professionals. Over the years, we grew and learned by observing their unique approach to design, typography, and technology. We were the next generation to witness a remarkable typographical revolution – allowing us to practice and teach this special craft. Now decades later, we are reaching out to our esteemed colleagues (young and old) to compile what we believe will be a compendium of unique educational videos. These Type Dialogues document their work and words on the importance of typography and design education – for all to enjoy and learn from.
Hear from the best in the business.
Frank Romano, President of the Museum of Printing
Jason met Frank when they worked with Tom Carnase and Bert DePamphilis on the launch and rollout of The World Typeface Center and Ligature magazine. Jason and Kevin went to the Museum of Printing in Haverhill, MA to talk to Frank and learn more about the history of type and printing. Watch Frank’s videos.
Steven Heller, Co-founder and Chair of the MFA Designer as Entrepreneur program at SVA
When Jason and Kevin first saw the Type Deck in 2017, they recognized the educational value in the typographic images and historical context. Steven noted, “When The Type Guys approached me wanting to feature Type Deck as part of their Type Odyssey Dialogues, I couldn’t say no. We knew that sharing the deck in a video format could reach and engage thousands – which speaks to our common mission of type awareness and education.” Learn more about Steven and his Type Deck.
David Seat, Letterpress expert and and owner of Hot Metal Services
Dave Seat is a star in the printing industry – one of a few who have the skillset and knowledge to keep these remaining once-dominant Linotype machines in working order. He and his wife Beth, travel the 48 states every year repairing, servicing, and teaching how to maintain Letterpress and related equipment. We caught up with Dave at the Museum of Printing where he gave us a short demonstration of casting type on the museum’s Mergenthaler Linotype. See Dave Seat’s video.
