He is a man of many talents: graphic designer, type designer, calligrapher, teacher and owner of a design studio in Georgia.
We are told that he also makes great sushi. Having published his first fonts at T-26 less than ten years ago, he has rapidly become a force to be reckoned with on the North American type scene. His microfoundry Positype has published a respectable collection of text and display faces, and with TypeTrust he is into distribution as well. The latest news is that his Fugu typeface has won a “Certificate of Excellence in Type Design” in this year’s TDC2 Awards. Congratulations! Meet Neil Summerour, before he’s off to Japan again.
