The Foundry

Hi, I'm Scott Downey, a type designer from southern California and currently living the Dolce Vita between my studio and the beach in Santa Barbara. All Damn fonts are fueled by morning cups of coffee and weekend escapades.

I’ve always loved drawing and for as far back as I can remember, have been obsessed with letters. In elementary school, I would analyze my friends' handwriting and try to incorporate their best bits into my own letters. nowadays, I channel that creative energy into designing fonts that help people tell their stories through design. I draw inspiration from all sorts of things, like old-school hand-painted signs, vintage luggage stickers, and early-type foundries. I aim to create timeless, classic, and fun type that resonates with others and complements their work. Life's too short to settle for boring fonts, am I right? I hope the fonts I make will bring a little more joy and beauty into the world. Cheers!
