Typekit is proud to once again host the San Francisco chapter of Creative Mornings at our headquarters in the Mission. This week’s speaker is none other than Typekit’s founder and CEO, Jeff Veen. Previously, Jeff was one of the founding partners of the user experience consulting group Adaptive Path, where he lead the development of Measure Map, which was acquired by Google. While at Google, he redesigned Google Analytics and lead the UX team for Google’s apps. And way back when both Jeff and the web were young, he was part of the founding web team at Wired Magazine.

Join us at Typekit’s headquarters in the Mission for a screening of Making Faces, Richard Kegler’s documentary of late graphic artist and type designer, Jim Rimmer. The film documents the creation of a new typeface from the preliminary sketches through the cutting and casting of a single letter.

Tickets are on sale now and include two free drinks. If you are unable to make it to San Francisco, you can also make a donation to support the film. In addition, we’re looking for a couple of volunteers to help at the event; volunteers will receive free admission, a letterpress poster, and a copy of the documentary. Drop a line to Libby Nicholaou if you are interested in volunteering. We hope to see you there!

PS: All proceeds from the screening go to the filmmakers.
