{"title":"Craig Stainton","description":"\u003ci\u003eIn the words of Craig Stainton, founder of \u003ca href=\"\/pt\/foundry\/selfbuildtype\"\u003eSelfBuildtype\u003c\/a\u003e:\u003c\/i\u003e\n\n\nMy interest in lettering started when I was a kid in my home town of Newcastle. Graffiti was my introduction to lettering and for a while I was a graffiti tagger, practising new letter styles and shapes. This later developed into an interest in type design at Leeds Metropolitan University, where I was inspired by the crop of new type designers using Fontographer, foundries such as \u003ca href=\"\/pt\/foundry\/emigre\"\u003eEmigre\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/pt\/person\/brody\/neville\"\u003eBrody’s\u003c\/a\u003e FUSE experiments. I started to design my own fonts to use on techno record labels and other projects. SelfBuild was born of necessity; I often found the fonts available to me were not suitable for the job in hand and so constructed or designed my own.","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/www.myfonts.com\/pt\/collections\/craig-stainton.oembed","provider":"MyFonts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
