Tom Chalky

Obsessed with handwritten, handpainted, and imperfect. Almost every design can benefit from a human’s touch or, at the very least, the appearance of one. It is relatable, tactile, and authentic. It stands out in our clean and crisp digital world, and it is this charismatic and expressionate style of design that I strive for in each and every one of my fonts.

Director and Type Designer

Tom Chalky

My design journey started as a teenager, known as the 'Photoshop Kid,' creating websites for local bike shops and garages with Dreamweaver (those were the days!). While at university, I co-founded a design blog, Inspiration Hut, with my now wife, Abbie. The true eureka moment came when I discovered typography, sparking years of creative exploration and self-discovery in the glorious world of type design. None of this was planned—I’m just rolling with the punches and soaking up every opportunity. When I’m not drawing letters, you’ll find me bouldering, often realizing I should really stretch more.
