| Jonathan Hoefler and Tobias Frere-Jones | The duo is deeply embedded in the New York design community. Their foundry is housed in a building that commands the intersection of Houston and Broadway in the city’s SoHo district, which is veritable warren of design and architecture studios. In addition, their work is almost wholly informed by the needs of graphic designers and their dialogue with them.Within the wider design community the two type designers are well respected – loved even – for the depth and breadth of their knowledge about all things pertaining to type. |
| Louise Fili | Inducted into the Art Directors Hall of Fame, Fili specializes in logo, package, restaurant, type, book and book jacket design.

| Herb Lubalin | Art director, editor, publisher and purveyor of the shock and delight of meaning through typography and design. The "typographic impresario of our time," Dorfsman called him, a man who "profoundly influenced and changed our vision and perception of letter forms, words and language."
Lubalin was a brilliant, iconoclastic advertising art director—in the 1940s with Reiss Advertising and then for twenty years with Sudler and Hennessey. Recipient of medal after medal, award after award, and in 1962 named Art Director of the Year by the National Society of Art Directors, he has also been a publication designer of great originality and distinction. He designed startling Eros in the early 60s, intellectually and visually astringent Fact in the mid-60s, lush and luscious Avant Garde late in the same decade, and founded U & lc in 1973 and saw it flourish into the 80s. |
