Studioways, founded in 2016 by Eliza Gwendalyn and Jim Lyles, specializes in crafting unique fonts that reflect the distinctive calligraphic styles of Eliza and her colleagues in the wedding industry. Jim, with a rich background in font design, focuses on creating these exquisite typefaces while also contributing traditional designs to the collection. His impressive career began at Megenthaler-Linotype in NYC in 1981, followed by 27 years at Bitstream in Cambridge, MA. In 2005, he co-founded BluHead Studio with Steve and Sue Zafarana, where they digitized the extensive phototype library of the late Joseph Churchward. Currently, Jim is the sole owner of BluHead. After leaving Bitstream in 2012, he collaborated with Brian Bonislawsky to establish Stiggy & Sands and the Monogram Fonts Company.
