Badson Studio [Kyle Read] Badson Studio is a type foundry in Buena Vista (was: Denver), CO, launched by Kyle Read in 2014. Kyle Read (b. 1987 or 1988) hails from the American Northeast and lived in Chatham, NJ. He studied graphic design and printmaking at Savannah College of Art and Design (class of 2010), and has created typefaces for Abercrombie & Fitch in Columbus, Ohio. He studied type design at the Type@Cooper Extended Type Design Program in New York. We believe, but are not sure, that Kyle started Proof&Co. In 2015, these commercial typeface families had been published by Read at Badson Studio: Ermine: The Ermine Type Family is derived from one of the most illuminated eras in American History. President Franklin D. Roosevelt launched his New Deal in 1929 to get America back to work after the now infamous market crash and Great Depression. Between 1935 and 1943, the Works Progress Administration (WPA) was established by presidential order and employed more than 8 million workers. Some of the more visible projects were posters created to promote tourism in the country's National Parks. More than 2,000,000 posters were printed by the Federal Art Project's poster division. Almost all of these posters have been lost or destroyed. The Ermine Family is designed to be reminiscent of this era of public art, drawing from the wonderfully quirky lettering styles of the WPA National Parks Posters themselves. Bota Display: a didone typeface. Guilder: a multiline and outline typeface family. Before Badson Studio, Kyle created the layered multiline typeface Pinscher (2013), the rounded sans typeface Penfield (2013), the experimental typeface Geoface (2013), the warm titling typeface Holden (2013), the multiline straight-edged typeface Countdown (2013), and the art deco family Flagpole (2013). In 2013, he received the 2013 SOTA Catalyst Award. Home page for Kyle Read.
