Dyana Weissman
TYPE CAMP GALIANO 08
From finding letters among the tiles of bathroom floors as a little kid, to doodling letterforms rather than images while not paying attention in high school, Dyana was destined to be a type designer. While at the Rhode Island School of Design, she got her hands on The Elements of Typographic Style, and it was all over from there. Now working full time at Font Bureau, she is most proud to be on the "Hero Wall" of The Financial Times. Other lucky clients include Newsweek and Saatchi & Saatchi. She has been a speaker at TypeCon and her work has been featured in The Boston Globe and Interrobang. She collects letters and things that look like letters in all sorts of random places, and is probably the only person in America, perhaps even the world, who genuinely enjoys kerning. When not thinking about type, she's napping, breakdancing, or debating the existence of free will with her coworkers.
