Carl Crossgrove


Connecticut origins, California cultured, New Mexico transplant. Drawing and designing since I could hold a pencil. 25 years of typeface design and now on to everything else that needs designing. Organic, handmade, thoughtful and user-friendly are watchwords. Excited by natural forms, color, texture, flavor and spice. Interested in a plural culture that celebrates and rewards all ethically. Anti-fascist, anti-racist, pro education and pro self-determination.
