Před pěti lety založil písmolijnu Superior Type, kde tvoří písma na zakázku. Za písma Kunda Book, Pramen, Kakao nebo Vegan Sans dostal Vojtěch Říha několik mezinárodních cen a využívají je designérská studia po celém světě. Jejich autora jsme loni zařadili do žebříčku 30 pod 30. „Bylo to staré písmo, které se jmenovalo Vega, tak jsem ho upravil a pojmenoval Vegan, protože bylo teď jednoduše takové vyčištěné – jako vegan,“ říká se smíchem Říha, který si na zvláštních názvech svých písem zakládá. Kromě toho, že se věnuje typografii, vytvořil s designérem Matějem Poláchem také projekt Superior Objects – hravé porcelánové objekty inspirované jednotlivými písmeny.

Melting Faces With Mark Caneso Ready for some down to earth advice and have your face melted with mind-bending letterforms? If so, you're in for a treat as I have a very special guest on the show today none other than Mark Caneso. Mark operates under the name PPRWRK Studio and runs PSTypeLab which is a Type Foundry and home for his products. Side note: I'm currently loving the shit out of his custom Apple Pencil wraps. Not only does Mark create amazing typefaces you can find on Adobe Typekit like Hatch, Quatro or Neplus, but he’s made a name for himself pushing letters to the extreme. His Instagram will make your brain hurt in the all right ways with his ambigrams, encrypted messages and wild experiments. Not only is he crazy talented, but he’s a genuine down to earth guy who shows you behind the scenes of his process which I highly respect. Overview In today’s episode, Mark gives you a permission slip to: constantly play share unpolished work break the rules push the boundaries create things you want to see and so much more... I think you're going to find a lot of value in this episode. I was a sponge the entire time and there were multiple areas I found that I can push my boundaries more instead of playing it safe. When you're done listening, ask yourself how you can take that piece of work you created and push it to the next level?

Interview with Colophon Type Foundry
A lot of designers and creatives assume you need to be a business genius to make a passive income. But the truth is that you just need to practice making a simple shift in your mindset. If you want to make an income online you need to make a habit of carefully studying what sales online and why. In this episode, I talk to Jeremy Vessey, owner of Hustle Supply Co. about how he built a six-figure font foundry by starting by solving a small problem for himself. Here're some of my favorite takeaways from the interview: Study products selling online regularly. Think critically and ask yourself "Why?" they're doing so well. Create things that help your customers make the work they aspire to create. Don't hold your cards too close to your chest. Share your secrets and you'll gain loyal fans and customers. People fear if they sell what they do best no one will hire them. But creating products that showcase your best work actually whets clients appetites for custom work. Enjoy!

Renowned songwriter, singer, true believer, Alejandro Escovedo released Burn Something Beautiful on October 28th, 2016 via Fantasy Records. The new album, Escovedo’s first solo endeavor since 2012’s highly acclaimed Big Station, is in actuality, a highly collaborative affair. Teaming with Peter Buck (R.E.M.) and Scott McCaughey (The Minus 5) to co-write the album’s songs, Escovedo also enlisted the pair to act as the project’s producers. At once a celebration of the rock and roll life, a contemplation on mortality, and the healing power of love, Burn Something Beautiful connects repeatedly with Escovedo’s soulful heart and voice at its core. Recorded at Portland’s Type Foundry studio, cwith the help of an esteemed group of musicians .They include guitarist Kurt Bloch (The Fastbacks), drummer John Moen (The Decemberists), vocalists Corin Tucker (Sleater-Kinney) and Kelly Hogan (Neko Case, The Flat Fie) as well as saxophonist Steve Berlin (Los Lobos). In a trailblazing career that began with The Nuns, San Francisco’s famed punk innovators, to the Austin-based-based alt-country rock pioneers, Rank & File, to Texas bred darlings, True Believers, through countless all-star collaborations and tribute album appearances and finally a series of beloved solo albums beginning with 1992’s acclaimed Gravity, Escovedo has earned a surplus of distinctions: No Depression magazine’s Artist of the Decade Award in 1998 and the Americana Music Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award for Performing in 2006, just to name two. “You just do your good work, and people care,” Alejandro says. “I always believed, when I was a kid, that if you worked hard, you would find fulfillment. I think I got a lot of that from my father and my brothers. A working musician is all I ever wanted to be. Hard work, stay true to what you want to do, and then eventually someone would notice for that very reason.”
