Big Typephoon

Big letters. Bright ideas. A little mischief. Big Typephoon is an independent type foundry in Grand Island, Nebraska, where chunky curves, oddball shapes, and a bit of silliness are all part of the alphabet. Designer Thomas Ziller creates original typefaces and revisits found lettering and historical type designs, giving overlooked letterforms a fresh life as digital fonts. Some begin with a sketch; others start with an intriguing alphabet, an old sign, or a piece of printed lettering too good to forget. The collection celebrates both invention and rediscovery. The goal is type that feels at home in a world of bright colors, bold graphics, and playful surprises. From bubbly and goofy to angular and offbeat, these fonts are made to give words a personality of their own.

For posters, packaging, logos, and headlines that could use a little more volume, Big Typephoon brings the big type—and the fun
