About Us
TypeDrift is a type design foundry started by designers Joe Bosack and T.J. Harley. Recognized for their award-winning work within the sports design industry, both Bosack and Harley wanted to offer their services to a much broader audience. Since custom type design is a core service offered by both designers, it was only natural that they turn their attention to developing custom typefaces for designers to use every day. Thus, TypeDrift was born.
