Sara Soskolne is currently senior designer at Hoefler & Frere-Jones. Though originally a graphic designer in her home town of Toronto, after ten years of apparently never being able to find quite the right typeface for the job she finally decided to just learn how to make them herself, jumping careers (and an ocean) to study typeface design at the University of Reading where she earned her MA in the subject in 2003. Since joining H&FJ she has contributed to the design of a wide range of both bespoke and retail typefaces — the latter including Verlag, Chronicle, Sentinel, Gotham, and Tungsten — and has taught typeface design at the Yale School of Art, the Book Arts Institute at Wells College, and New York’s School of Visual Arts.
