ABOUT

Riley Cran

Graphic designer in Seattle, WA. He cofounded Lost Type Coop in 2011 with Tyler Galpin. His Canaveral (2011, Lost Type) is a squat serifed font for maximum clarity in tight spots. Governor (2011, Lost Type) is an art deco alphabet inspired by the apartment signage of Miami Beach. Muncie (2011) is an industrial / mechanical sans headline face, perfect for coal mine strikes. The condensed sans serif Fairview was created in 2013.

In 2015, he designed the muscular sans typeface Moriston (Lost Type), which builds on Miller & Richard's Grotesque #7. The typeface is named after Riley's grandfather, Glenn Morison Chronister.

In 2016, Riley Cran published the super-charged upright connected script typeface Escafina.

In 2017, Aaron James Draplin and Riley Cran co-designed the industrial typeface DDC Hardware at Lost Type. Still in 2017, Riley Cran and Neil Secretario co-designed Calafia Casual Script.

Riley Cran strted off 2018 with a phenomenal contribution, a 56-style didone typeface family, Mort Modern, which was inspired by the lettering of Mortimer Leach.
