Juliet Shen has taught typography at the School of Visual Concepts in Seattle since 1999, with a year off to get an MA in typeface design at the University of Reading, UK. Her dissertation on the type designs of Morris Fuller Benton has been published by Sherwin Beach Press in a letterpress edition hand composed in Benton’s Cloister Old Style. Juliet’s typeface Bullen, released by Font Bureau, was inspired by her perusal of typefaces in the early ATF specimen books. She has had an independent design firm in Seattle since 1989 and concentrates today on custom font design. Her Lushootseed font for the Tulalip Tribes of Washington is the first newly designed Native American font to be cut as wood type by the Hamilton Museum and is used in efforts to revive the daily use of the critically endangered language. She is a board member of SOTA, the producers of TypeCon, and the director of the Type Americana conference in Seattle. Juliet received her B.A. from Sarah Lawrence College and Certificate of Fine Arts from the Cooper Union.
