Frequency: 1 episode/35d. Total Eps: 8

Hello, type friends! is podcast hosted by Elliot Jay Stocks (Google Fonts, Adobe Fonts, 8 Faces, etc.) who’s lucky enough to count some extremely talented and well-known type designers, lettering artists, illustrators, authors, and type-loving creatives as his friends. Each episode involves Elliot sitting down with a friend for an informal chat about life, work, and, well… whatever comes up. No script. No plans. And no Bézier curves. Instead, type is the common thread that binds everyone together, and listening to Hello, type friends! is a bit like overhearing a couple of mates chatting in the pub.

Jamie Clarke

Season 1 · Episode 8

Thursday, May 23, 2024 • Duration 49:38

Elliot sits down with Jamie Clarke — a type designer and lettering artist who just happens to live in the same village in rural Somerset. Actually, Elliot and Jamie have been friends for years, and have been collaborating since the early days of 8 Faces. This is an edited version of a much longer ramblechat, in which they discuss Jamie’s forthcoming new typeface Nave, his self-initiated studio projects that have won him high-profile client work, the journey to his “third” career, and the threats and opportunities posed by AI.

A few things mentioned in this episode include:

Jamie & Filip’s article on AI for Smashing Mag
Type Design intensive (TDi) course at Reading
The Dark Art of Pricing by Jessica Hische
Price with Purpose by Gooodtype
House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski

Francis Chouquet

Season 1 · Episode 5

Thursday, February 15, 2024 • Duration 40:40

Elliot sits down with Francis Chouquet, a type designer, lettering artist, printmaker, and former web designer who’s based just outside of Basel, Switzerland, to talk about the weekly schedule that enforces time away from screens, using physically distinct locations to do different kinds of creative work, and how he’s grown his audience via his newsletter, The Typochondriac Weekly.

The book Francis mentions in this episode is How to Do Nothing, by Jenny Odell. He and Elliot also mention the newsletters and membership programme run by Craig Mod.

Emma Luczyn

Season 1 · Episode 4

Wednesday, January 24, 2024 • Duration 49:48

Elliot sits down outside a pub in Bristol with designer and lettering artist Emma Luczyn, who was responsible for Elliot’s hand-lettered logo. They talk about Emma’s journey as a self-prescribed black sheep in a non-creative family, budgeting sensibly as an art student, delaying getting a ‘real job’ in order to travel, moving from print design to web design to lettering, and how her family life has come about as a direct result of her creative pursuits. Warning: as well as some NSFW language in this one, there’s an actual mention of Bézier curves. Please forgive us.

Thursday, December 14, 2023 • Duration 52:50

Elliot sits down for a cup of tea at Erik Spiekermann’s house in London to discuss his successes and failures, his latest typeface neue Serie57®, the relationship between paper and screen, and why Frutiger could very well be the typeface Erik takes to a desert island. Warning: lots of swearing!

Dan Cederholm

Season 1 · Episode 2

Thursday, October 26, 2023 • Duration 43:45

Elliot sits down with Dan Cederholm, who many will know for his pioneering web design work, his multiple books, and as the co-founder of Dribbble. These days, Dan’s studio Simplebits is a type foundry, so Elliot and Dan talk learning new skills, career reinvention, the woes of social media, and moving from digital to analogue and back again — all with a healthy (or is that unhealthy?) dose of reminiscing about the good ol’ days of the web.
