ABOUT







Kerns&Cairns [Dyana Weissman]

American type designer, b. 1980, who graduated from the RISD, and worked at Font Bureau (as Senior Custom Designer) and Type Network (as Custom Type Director) in Boston. She set up Kerns & Cairns, also in Boston. Interview at Daidala. Interview by Christian Palino. Her typefaces:

  • Materot: calligraphic.
  • She expanded the Benton Sans family into an ultra for Toyota, commissioned by Saatchi&Saatchi.
  • Baskerville was modified by her for Northeastern University (via Korn Design).
  • She made a font for learning handwriting for TouchMath.
  • Apotek (2020): a squared counter typeface family based on lettering on old medicine bottles seen in Oslo.
  • Benton Modern Display (2008), co-designed with Richard Lipton at Font Bureau: Benton Modern Text was first prepared by Font Bureau for the Boston Globe and the Detroit Free Press. Design and proportions were taken from Morris Fuller Benton's turn-of-the-century Century Expanded, drawn for ATF, faithfully reviving this epoch-making magazine and news text roman. The italic was based on Century Schoolbook.
  • A redesign of Matthew Carter's Postoni (1997), called Stilson (2009, with Richard Lipton and Jill Pichotta): Since 1997, The Washington Post's iconic headlines have been distinguished by their own sturdy, concise variation on Bodoni, designed by Matthew Carter. For the 2009 redesign, Richard Lipton, Jill Pichotta, and Dyana Weissman expanded the family with more refined Display & Condensed styles for use in larger sizes. Originally called Postoni, the fonts were renamed in honor of The Post's founder, Stilson Hutchins.
  • Escrow Reading Edge (2016, Font Bureau). An extension of Cyrus Highsmith's Scotch Roman, Escrow (2006).
  • Syfy Hero and Syfy Sidekick.
  • Waldorf Astorai. An art deco typeface inspired by the lettering on the facade of Waldorf Astoria Hotel at 301 Park Avenue in New York City.
  • Comedy Sans. A 12-style typeface commissioned by Comedy Central.
  • Firdevs (2022). A digitization of a Victorian typeface drawn in Silivri Prison by political prisoner and journalist Fevzi Yazici, and named after Fevzi's wife.
  • CTV Sans. For the Canadian TV network.
  • ESPN College Football. A custom varsity font family developed together with Victoria Rushton and loyalkaspar.
  • Peacock Sans (2020, with Victoria Rushton). A custom typeface for Peacock, NBC Universal's video streaming platform.
  • GRab=vity Grotesk (2021, with Victoria Rushton and CSTM Fonts).
