About LOST TYPE CO-OP: RILEY CRAN & DAN GNEIDING

Operated and Managed by Riley Cran (and originally co-founded with Tyler Galpin), Lost Type is the first of its kind, a Pay-What-You-Want type foundry. Since 2011 Lost Type has been a source for unique typefaces, with a collection of over 50 different faces from contributors all over the world. 100% of the funds from sales of these fonts go directly to their respective designers. Lost Type fonts have been used across the world, and recently have been featured in projects for Nike, Starbucks, Disney and the President of the United States. Lost Type continues to be dedicated to to the idea that quality fonts should be made available to anyone who wants to create an individual piece of characterful design.

RILEY CRAN:

DAN GNEIDING:
Dan rides the blue wind high and free as a designer, illustrator, teacher and typographer. He resides just outside Philadelphia with his stylish wife and daughters and enjoys gray hooded sweat shirts, long walks with a beer, and early Star Wars trivia.

Dan’s style fuses equal parts hand and computer with a few minor league printing techniques peppered in for good measure. Dan likes his design like he likes his music; wearing it’s imperfections like a badge of honor.

Dan has gladly put his nose to the grind stone for The Lost Type Co-Op, Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, Baseman Design Associates and Flux Labs.
