Overview

Manage, and deliver your custom typeface projects with confidence.

A custom typeface project requires careful planning, clear processes, and strategic project management. Whether you’re leading a studio team or working independently, I provide consulting and project oversight to help you navigate the complexities of custom type design.

My consulting services are tailored to type designers, studios, and agencies managing client-commissioned type projects. From workflow planning to proofing strategies and designer collaboration, I provide structured guidance to keep your project on track from concept to completion.

How I Can Help

• Project Planning: Develop a clear roadmap for your custom type project
• Design Coordination: Strategise workload division among type designers
• Quality Control: Implement effective proofing and refinement processes
• Process Optimisation: Streamline workflows for efficiency and clarity

Best suited for idependent designers, freelancers, studios, and agencies offering custom typeface design.

As a consultant, I treat projects confidentially. I do not ask for part ownership of the project or for a mention, although mentions are lovely when they happen.

Hi there, my name is Troy Leinster. I’m an Australian typeface designer and founder of Leinster Type, and I currently live in Jersey City, just across the river from New York City.

Over the last ten years, I’ve studied under many typeface designers around the world, collecting and refining my type design process, which I now share with others like yourself. In 2021, I founded Typemasters.xyz, and have now coached over 500 designers through the process of developing a typeface from concept to release.

From 2014-2021 I worked at the Hoefler&Co Type Foundry and taught typeface design at Cooper Union in New York. I’m a graduate of Type & Media program at KABK in The Hague and the Type@Cooper program at Cooper Union in New York.

I look forward to working with you to help navigate the complexities of custom typeface design.

Troy.
