OH no Type Co. is a California-based type design studio started by James Edmondson in 2015. With a background in lettering, and a deep appreciation for lively typefaces that are uniquely beautiful, and fun to read, the goal has always been to create quality work that highlights under appreciated genres, respects history without reinventing the wheel. We value organic over geometric, lively over perfect, and good spacing above all else.

James Edmondson

James Edmondson studied graphic design at California College of the Arts, and graduated from the Royal Academy of Art’s TypeMedia program in the Netherlands. Through his foundry OH no Type Co., he creates custom and retail typefaces. In 2018, James co-founded Future Fonts, a platform for distributing fonts in-progress. James has taught type design at Type West at the Letterform Archive and has conducted workshops through Type@Cooper. With his fabulous comrades at OH no Type Co., he creates custom and retail typefaces.

Teaching has always been important to us, and Ohno Type School is our attempt to open the doors of our studio and share with students how we approach type design projects.
