ABOUT

Sebastian Lester

Graduate of Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London. He started out designing fonts for [T-26] and Garagefonts, but is also (or, perhaps, mainly) a letterer. In 2000, Lester joined Agfa Monotype. Typefaces:

• [T-26]: EquipoizeSans, EquipoizeSerif, Zoroaster-Regular (1995), Cuban (1996-2000).
• Garagefonts: Rubber (2001), Gimp Round (2001) and Gimp Square (2001).
• Agfa/Monotype: Soho (2007, a 40-strong slab serif family), Soho Gothic (2007-2008, slab serif family perhaps based on the signage around Soho---this large fgamily has nice Compressed, Condensed and Extended subfamilies), Neo Sans (2004), NeoTech (2004), Scene (2000-2002, sans serif and semi-serif, 12 weights, 12 alternates) and Scene Black (2008). Scene has been lauded as eminently clean, open, and highly legible: it is a formidable family, and a competitor for Futura, Gill Sans, Helvetica, Univers, FF Bau, Intel's new identity font called Neo Sans Intel (2005) is based on Neo Sans and Neo Tech.
