About the role
Spurline Type is a small independent type foundry of seven people in a former leather warehouse in Bermondsey. We publish our own retail families and draw custom typefaces for publishers, brands and a city transport network.
You will draw glyphs, space and kern, and help take families from sketches to finished fonts across Latin, Greek and Cyrillic. You will also work on custom projects with clients who care a great deal about the shape of a lower-case g.
We work on-site because type is easier to argue about on a big printout. Expect long proofs, slow coffee and a lot of very precise feedback.
Show us a typeface you have designed (finished or not) and a proof sheet that shows how you test it.
What you’ll do
- Draw and refine glyphs for retail and custom families
- Space, kern and proof fonts
- Build OpenType features and test across platforms
What we’re looking for
- A typeface you have designed, finished or in progress
- Fluent in Glyphs or a similar editor
- A sharp eye for curves and rhythm
- Non-Latin experience is a bonus
Benefits
- Royalties on retail families you work on
- Conference budget for one type event a year
- 28 days' holiday
- A desk by a very big window
Interview process
- Portfolio and proof review
- Short paid drawing task (one day)
Skills
- Glyphs
- Type design
- Spacing and kerning
- OpenType features
- Python scripting
