Typography Specialist

A typography specialist chooses, adapts, and sometimes designs letterforms so text looks good and reads easily. Your work might include selecting typefaces for a book, magazine, or brand system, adjusting spacing and hierarchy, building type styles for a website, or drawing custom lettering and fonts. You spend a lot of time zooming in on small details, such as how letters sit next to each other, how lines break, or how a headline feels against body text. You collaborate with art directors, editors, brand designers, and developers who need type that works across print and screens.
