ABOUT

Benjamin Tuttle

Brooklyn-based graphic designer with an interest in lettering and typeface design. He studied graphic design in Raleigh, North Carolina and received a certificate in typeface design from the Cooper Union in 2019. Benjamin Tuttle is a volunteer at the collectively-run microcinema Spectacle Theater since 2017, contributing film programming, poster design, trailer editing, and more. He is Design Director at Ultravirgo. His typefaces:

• Clark (2006).
• Plebeian (2021). An experimental text sans that started as a formal experiment with the modularity of Frank E. Blokland's letter model. Plebeian can be purchased at Order Type Foundry.
• Pastiche Grotesque (2021). Released at Order Type Foundry. He explains: Pastiche Grotesque is type design fanfiction looking at late 19th century Gothics through the lens of mid-20th century Neo-grotesques. It hypothesizes what a Neo-grotesque might look like if lower contrast forefathers like Akzidenz or Venus didn't exist.
• Amalgam. A knife-edged typeface originally drawn for a poster designed for the 9th Annual Spectacle Shriek Show, a day-long horror movie marathon.
• No Gothic. A digital revival of the American Type Founders Gothic No. 578, which was originally released by Inland Type Foundry as Gothic No. 8 and Keystone Type Foundry as Standard Gothic. While staying faithful to the original outlines, the revival adds a few modernizations like kerning, an expanded character set and OpenType stylistic sets that reflect the changes in design between the Inland and Keystone releases.
• Spectacle (2019). A text face designed during his studies at Type@Cooper for the Spectacle Theater and its cheaply printed monthly calendar of programming.
