ABOUT

Andy Clymer

Andy Clymer studied at San Diego State University. At that time, he was working on Stencil Fraktur (2002). In 2004-2005, he became a grad student at the KABK in Den Haag. He joined the typeface development department of Hoefler&Frere-Jones in New York in 2005.

In 2015, Jonathan Hoefler and Andy Clymer cooperated on the decorative copperplate engraved emulation typeface Obsidian. Various kinds of 3d illumination in Obsidian were obtained by an algorithmic process. Not to be confused with about ten other fonts called Obsidian--for example, we have Obsidian (pre 2003, Silver Graphics), Obsidian (2014, Steffi Strick), Obsidian (2012, Krzysztof Stryjewski), Obsidian Deco (2013, Yautja), Obsidian (2005, Sparklefonts), and Obsidian Chunks (pre 2002, Jeni Pleskow).
