Signal Type Foundry

“I grew up bookish in a house full of books, and it got me interested in those rows of little black marks books are made of. I did my first paid lettering job at fifteen. When I became a graphic designer, I began to study letters seriously and found that the best of them had a particular kind of beauty: the beauty of tools, airplanes, and bridges, of something rigorously shaped for a particular use. I found I wanted to draw more letters like that, so that the things I designed could be made of the very best stuff. And that’s what Signal tries to provide to designers.”
Max Phillips founded Signal in New York City in 2011 after 20-odd years of type-focused branding work and moved it to Dublin when his Irish wife got homesick. We provide custom type design, logo development, typographic consulting, and a retail type library, much of it with a focus on branding, but with occasional longing looks backward at the world of books.
