California, 1952) was a sign painter and wine label designer in the Napa Valley (his companies were called Oasis Graphics and then Titus&Poole, and Poole Aert&Design) for almost 25 years before moving to Hawaii in 2002 due to multiple sclerosis. Typefaces:

  • Poole Standard (2006). A stylish headline face.
  • Poole Chiselcut (2007). Digitization with the help of Rod Cavazos (PsyOps).
  • Polynesiac (2007, Wesley and Samuel together). Simulation of Easter Island lettering.
