https://simplecast.com Hello, type friends! Hello, type friends! is podcast hosted by Elliot Jay Stocks (Google Fonts, Adobe Fonts, 8 Faces, etc.) who’s lucky enough to count some extremely talented and well-known type designers, lettering artists, illustrators, authors, and type-loving creatives as his friends. Each episode involves Elliot sitting down with a friend for an informal chat about life, work, and, well… whatever comes up. No script. No plans. And no Bézier curves. Instead, type is the common thread that binds everyone together, and listening to Hello, type friends! is a bit like overhearing a couple of mates chatting in the pub.
