• Why did you start Continental Type Co.?

  Short answer: We really wanted to make type and collaborate.
  
  Long answer: We'd been friends for 4+ years and we were both attending Type@Cooper on opposite coasts. We decided to bring our learnings from the program into the real world! Since we both come from a background of lettering & graphic design, we wanted to bridge the gap between the world of type and lettering / graphic design to unify the two disciplines.

• Do you have any upcoming things?

  Yes, we do things. So many things. Tons of things! Scott and Winston will be co-teaching a workshop at Creative South in April 2017, grab a ticket while you still can and get lost in the glory of type.

• Do we really need more fonts?

  Actually, this is all a performance art piece. Death is the only escape.
