ABOUT

Preston Graphics [Roy Preston]

Roy Preston was born in London, and worked most of his life as an art director and graphic designer. He is a prolific type designer, who created original families such as Paldus and Prentis (great-looking Old Style families), Preston-Roman, and Handroy (handwriting).

His Prentis won the gold prize in the 1999 Morisawa Awards International Typeface Design Competition. (Some Dutch are saying that it is too close to DTF Lexicon, but I disagree.) Other faces: Prescipio, Preference, Petal, Thorn, Quantum.

Roy Preston published the Prenton RP humanist sans family in 2006 and the comic book style families Comixed RPO (2012) and Roy Hand RP (2007) at BluHead Studio.

His masterpiece is the angular wedge serif family Krete, published by BluHead in 2012.
