Description

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. 
You might also enjoy Elliot’s newsletter Typographic & Sporadic, which is typographic in its nature and sporadic in its delivery.

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. Because who wants to listen to people talk about such visually-centric nuances on an audio-only podcast? Instead, type is the common thread that binds everyone together, and listening to Hello, type friends! hopefully feels a bit like overhearing a couple of mates chatting in the pub.
