We’re excited to announce that Elliot Jay Stocks is joining the Typekit team as our new Creative Director. We’ve been working with Elliot since the beginning of the year, and we’re delighted to make things official.

Elliot will be working with us to brainstorm product direction, design new features, and serve as the steward of Typekit’s visual identity. You may know him as the founder of typography magazine 8 Faces. He’s an incredibly talented designer with a special passion for typography. We’re fortunate to have him with us as we continue to build Typekit.
