Stiggy & Sands

Stiggy & Sands is a lettering-driven type foundry rooted in craftsmanship, character, and the warm traditions of the lettering and type design. Founded by longtime collaborators Brian Bonislawsky and Jim Lyles, the partnership blends 50 years of experience in hand lettering, logo design, and classic typographic refinement. Our work focuses on approachable, expressive typefaces that feel crafted, not manufactured — from friendly handwritten scripts and retro brush lettering to charming display types, mid-century sign styles, and clean, usable sans-serifs. Every font is drawn with an eye toward both creative personality and everyday usability. We believe great type should feel inviting, familiar, and thoughtfully made. That’s why our catalog emphasizes: script fonts with warmth and flow retro Americana and showcard-inspired displays playful, easygoing lettering styles clean, approachable workhorse sans and serif styles handcrafted details refined for modern workflows Whether it’s branding for a small business, packaging for a bakery, signage for a café, or a playful headline with personality, Stiggy & Sands fonts are built to bring charm, clarity, and character to every project.
