DSVC presents Typographer Joshua Darden

April 6, 2011 - The Darden Studio produces and publishes the typeface designs of Joshua Darden and his collaborators. Housed in a former telephone switching station in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, New York, they create new typefaces and lettering for publications, institutions, corporate brands and private clients. Working closely with our clients, they pursue typography that is the result of earnest inquiry, appropriate for current editorial standards and technology, and rooted in the values and practices of five centuries of typefounding.

Born and raised in suburban Los Angeles, Joshua Darden published his first typeface at the age of 15. He spent the next decade assisting in the development and production of typefaces for a broad range of commercial and cultural institutions. Since establishing his Brooklyn-based studio in 2004, he has collaborated with clients in dozens of markets to invent rich, communicative typography.

Joshua has developed custom typefaces for Latin-based, Cyrillic, and Greek alphabets. He has taught the history, design, & use of typography at Parsons the New School for Design & the School of Visual Arts, lectured at the University of California, Santa Barbara, sat on panels at the TypeCon and South by Southwest Interactive conferences, juried the Type Directors Club Type Design Competition, and visited the Rhode Island School of Design as a Guest Critic.

In addition to guiding the creative work of the studio, Joshua is an avid amateur photographer, commuter by bicycle, and tireless collector, accumulating and cataloging books, small objects, and awesomely bad pop music.
