How to design your own typeface After many years as a graphic designer and type enthusiast, I decided to channel some of my passion into my own lettering and typography design projects.

Font Finder A Giant Worm-like Sculpture Loops Its Way Through the Worcester Museum Shih Chieh Huang, “Organic Concept” at the Worcester Art Museum (photograph by Kim Noonan; image © Worcester Art Museum) For the final iteration of his performance series Organic Concept, artist Shih Chieh Huang filled the Renaissance Court of the Worcester Art Museum with a gigantic worm-like sculpture. The work loops its way around the room’s staircases and columns, pulsing with the pressure of several box fans that keep the structure alive.
