Signs of Gold [Francis Stephen Lestingi] Francis Lestingi (b. 1963, Long Island City, NY) started out in type design at Letterhead Fonts, where he made the calligraphic script typefaces Pierre (2006) and LHF Pierre Fancy (2007). In 1994, while teaching physics at the State University College at Buffalo, he started Sign of Gold, Inc. with his son Stephen. He enjoyed it so much, he took early retirement and went full time carving. As a "recovering college professor", Francis has garnered nine First Place Awards from the USSC Sign Design Competition and the International Sign Association since 1999, and has been profiled in Signs of the Times, Sign Business, and SignCraft magazines. His first commercial typeface at Signs of Gold is Fran Hand (2009), an architct's font. In 2010, he added the signage typeface Stefano. He lives in Williamsville, NY.
