ABOUT

David Lemon

David Lemon (b. 1953) studied painting at the San Francisco Art Institute. At the California College of Arts and Crafts, he studied graphic design (BFA, 1979). After eight years in the magazine and newspaper sector, he joined the type design staff at Adobe Systems in 1986, where he managed the group which designs and produces Adobe's non-Asian fonts, and presently manages the entire Type Development team. Designer of the Copal font family (1994, Adobe: a fat poster family). He is involved in Adobe's OpenType project. Under his management, support for type 1 fonts and multiple master fonts was halted. He announced his retirement in early 2017, and settled in Lihue, Hawaii.

At ATypI meetings he is invariably the tallest participant, and often the only one wearing a cowboy hat. Speaker at ATypI 2013 in Amsterdam.
