SEE HERE NOW is a typeface based on WPA travel posters. The letterforms were digitized for a series of prints by Lois Harada in 2022 and now you can use it too!
Download the Beta version above and submit your feedback by July 15th, 2023. I’ll send a letterpress printed postcard of the specimen sheet as a thank you to anyone who completes the feedback form (or you can send me an email too!). Keep in mind this a work in progress so expect to see some funky spacing and missing punctuation marks.
Want to get more involved? Send me something you’ve designed with the type at a 5 x 7 inch size and I’ll print it for inclusion in the gallery exhibition launching the type (and it’ll live on this website going forward!). You can do that through the feedback form or send me an email!

SEE HERE NOW was initially used in 2022 in a print series entitled WISH YOU WERE HERE. Those silkscreen posteres were initially funded with a generous project grand from the Interlace Fund which supports artists in Providence. See more on their Instagram page too!
