Space Type: Typography, Computation, and Analog Publishing

24 January 2026 Share

Typography is not just about letters. It’s about space, structure, and relationships.

In this episode, host John Kudos sits down with Lynne Yun and Kevin Yeh, the duo behind Space Type, a Brooklyn-based type foundry and design studio working across typography, computation, and hands-on publishing.

From type design and calligraphy to generative tools, risograph printing, and teaching, Lynne and Kevin share how their very different backgrounds shaped a practice that resists easy categorization. They talk about learning through making, navigating client work while protecting personal curiosity, and why some of the most meaningful projects begin as experiments with no clear outcome.

The conversation explores mentorship, community-building, and the importance of creating work that feels sustainable, joyful, and honest over time. A thoughtful look into how contemporary designers can move fluidly between analog and digital worlds without losing their sense of craft.
