38 - Riley Cran, Lost Type Co-op Field Trip

On this week’s episode we’re sitting down with Riley Cran to talk about the Lost Type Co-op field trip to Philadelphia, happening this week! Field trips have become a semi-annual thing for Lost Type contributors, and as Riley has described these outings, they are “one part team bonding, one part sourcing inspiration.” Organized by our very own Dan Gneiding, who sits in as co-host on this episode, events with the Lost Type crew include a Drink ‘n’ Draw on September 14 starting at 5:30 pm at Frankford Hall, where you can hang with Lost Type contributors and casually work on your own lettering.  Then, on September 15 there will be a Lost Type Lecture at Philadelphia University at 7 pm. Click here for tickets. Finally, there is an art show on September 17 at 7 pm at  Masthead Print Studio. In anticipation of all this Lost Type goodness, sit down and listen to a chat with Lost Type co-founder Riley Cran about how his role with Lost Type has evolved, the differences between doing typefaces for yourself vs. for a client and Dan and Riley’s first disastrous phone call. This episode is sponsored by Old City Coffee and AIGA Philadelphia’s 35th Anniversary Party.
