About Me
Hot Metal to Mobile Screen
I am an expert typographer and type designer – from the roots of our trade to the most current applications of type on screen. Type is the fundamental element of all written communication and I have the expertise to help you formulate the most accurate message for your brand or product.
If you’re a fan of my Open Sans typeface family be sure to check out Open Serif – the ultimate companion for the Web’s most popular typeface! https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/matteson-typographics/open-serif/
