Ribbon Typeface by Dan Gneiding

 

Dan Gneiding is a designer, illustrator, teacher and typographer. He resides in Philadelphia. 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 Urban Outfitters, the Lost Type Co-Op, Anthropologie, Baseman Design Associates and Flux Labs.
