Typeheist is an independent font foundry focusing on handwritten, realistic fonts that are a little different (possibly intentionally 'bad').
Each typeface is hand-lettered, ensuring a natural flow and unscripted feel. Making use of OpenType features such as Stylistic Alternates, Standard and Discretionary Ligatures, Typeheist offers dynamic fonts with a wide range of glyphs that can be customised per person or per project.
Founded in 2020 by Laura Eddy, a product designer with a love for typography.
Every now and then someone will ask me to talk about myself, or will mention things I do on things they do. These are those things 😎
"Laura Eddy is the founder of Typeheist.co, among other things. She is what I like to call a "unicorn". She's a talented designer and developer. In terms of design, her skillset ranges from product design, illustration, and font design. In today's episode, we talk about where she gets her inspiration for her unique designs and how she balances that alongside her full-time role.

"We’ve each picked a foundry that we’re into at the moment, and are talking about them on the podcast. This foundry could not be more up Micah’s street if it tried. Micah loves a hand drawn element to type projects and these emo sounding typefaces are great examples of hand-written fonts done well, with plenty of stylistic alternatives to add to that human feel. Great stuff."
