For the Love of Type, a book about typefaces

Page 14

MEET BAILEY Dave Bailey is a typeface designer that is based in Oakland, California. Bailey designs fonts exclusively for Lost Type Co-op, Delve Fonts, and occasionally for local/small businesses that hire him. In his free time, Bailey practices sign painting for local clients and enjoys being hands on, which also inspires the digital typefaces that he creates. In 2016, Bailey enrolled in the year long certificate program in San Francisco, Type@Cooper West where he started collecting research, and planning out what would be the future type family of Prospectus. Bailey has currently designed and created seven complete typefaces but none of the typefaces are nearly as in-depth or expanded as Prospectus and are typically display types that don’t work for setting type.
