My new font, Soft Text, is out today with FutureFonts! It's got a gentle low-contrast, a friendly demeanor and a slightly fruity mouth-feel. www.future-fonts.com/soft-type/so...

I started a Substack and wrote about my sketchbook practice. It’s also where I’ll be sharing info on new type releases, speaking and teaching spots, and new work. If that’s your thing! heykyle.substack.com/p/drawing-as...

Some of my favorite illustrations I've ever seen, via lavenderzines.com. A curated, scanned archive of mid-century queer rags, this is where I go to quell some of my 2025-related fears.

I will have some new letters to share soon, but for now, some pages from a weekend at the Oregon coast.

An hour of sketchbook time keeps the dread (ever so slightly) at bay.
