Rerun summer continues with another past guest from way back in 2022—lettering designer extraordinaire and Portland flower fan Kyle Letendre joins Sean to talk Minnesota’s missing lakes, misguided entrepreneurial spirit, and rebrands that aren’t quite making the grade. We’re filling in the pixels in that JPEG manually in person while we get to the bottom of a question that’s been on everyone’s mind: what’s Sean’s favorite food color?

Kyle most recently did artwork for TypeCon 2024's identity, which you can see on the TypeCon website.

Not-so-coincidentally enough, the day this episode is re-released (Thursday, July 25, 2024) Fontroversy's Lena Hall and I will be appearing at TypeCon's Education Forum to present about the type education side of how Fontroversy came to be—it's going to be a real kick, and if you're going to be attending TypeCon, check out the EdForum schedule page on TypeCon's website for scheduling information. Stay tuned to the newsletter, too, Fontroversy friends, for more news on the show coming later this summer!

Also the night this episode comes out, I'll be at Future Fonts & Friends holding our second ever Making Mistakes Confessional! That event is free, open to the public, packed with friends of the show, and is your chance to share any design foibles that have been haunting you with our design therapist-in-residence. Future Fonts & Friends is happening at Outlet (2500 NE Sandy Blvd. in Portland) from 6–9pm. Hope to hear you there!

Stay tuned for more event news, including more information about our Seattle show, in the newsletter!
