Columbia Titling was originally developed for the non-profit SS Columbia Project, owner and steward of the historic SS Columbia, a 1902-built former Detroit River steamboat that they plan to restore and operate as a Hudson River cruise vessel in New York City and the Hudson River Valley.

Conglomerate is somewhere between sans and serif, square and rounded, calligraphic and geometric — a subtle yet unorthodox blend of typographic traits resulting in a clean, unique, and versatile font family that does not lean too heavily on any particular historical model.

The Gibbs typeface was developed for the non-profit SS United States Conservancy, owner and steward of the historic SS United States, a former transatlantic ocean liner that has been virtually abandoned since 1969. The group wishes to restore the ship as a vibrant waterfront development and museum for future generations to enjoy for decades to come.

Currently an un-released, in-progress design, LaFarge recreates the look of the delicate, handmade mosaic tile caps used in early-20th century New York City Subway stations, while remaining a readable typeface for both display and text in modern usage.

The Studebaker National Museum required some stylized type for some printed materials (though not a full rebrand). For this, I designed a caps alphabet and numbers based on the chrome lettering found on Studebaker cars from the late-1930s through the mid-1950s, and numbers of a similar style found on early-1950s Studebaker speedometers and gauges.

Currently an un-released, in-progress design, Nickerson is a revival and expansion of French Old Style, a popular late-19th century typeface produced in metal by numerous type foundries.

Transat is a geometric sans serif typeface, with caps inspired by Art Deco signage — found inside the “Gare Maritime” (literally “sea station”) ocean liner terminals in both Le Havre and Cherbourg, France, in the early 1930s.

The regular Victory Gardens Sans typeface is upper and lowercase in a range of five weights, plus italics. In addition, I have added a few all-caps “titling” companion typefaces; a bold condensed version used in both the Victory Gardens logo and some show title branding alongside the regular Victory Gardens Sans, and a “Deco” version more specifically reminiscent of the theater’s historic marquee.
