In this episode of The Type Convo, I sit down with Stacy Terry from Blanc Salvage, a type designer with an inspiring journey from brand design to creating her own unique fonts. We talk about her start in type design, which began with a hand-lettering course she discovered while working as a creative director, and how the challenges of learning kerning, lettering, and the technical aspects of font creation sparked a new passion.
Stacy shares the story of her transition to type design, highlighting the skills she built through experimentation and courses that helped her refine her craft. We discuss her approach to combining aesthetics with functionality in font creation and the nuances of developing a style that’s both distinctive and true to her vision. Together, we explore the joys and struggles of working on multiple fonts at once, balancing a creative business, and staying grounded in her design values.
Stacy’s journey from brand design to type creation is one of perseverance, inspiration, and innovation. She offers insights into the importance of mentorship, self-learning, and creating a supportive community in the type design world.
