For over 20 years, Dyana Weissman has been working with clients across various industries such as Comedy Central, Disney, Ford, Microsoft, the MoMA, and The Washington Post. She was the Director of Custom Type at Type Network, where she managed and created large multiscript families in traditional static and variable font formats. Before that, she was Senior Custom Designer at The Font Bureau.
Her approach to work is influenced by humanity itself: she aims to make genuine connections with clients, and believes that the most memorable designs are endearingly imperfect. She stretches her other creative muscles by writing for Typographica and Alphabettes, taking photographs, and promoting independent film. She stretches her literal muscles by hiking as often as she can.
An asterism is three asterisks printed to draw attention to a passage. Much like a cairn draws attention to a passage in the woods, helping hikers navigate to their destination. Whatever your typographic challenge is, she will help you find your way.
SERVICES
project management
Whether you’re a Business Affairs Manager or a Typeface Designer, large typeface design projects can be very confusing, and complex to manage. I can help you with every part of a project, and I’ll do it with kindness and compassion. Not just from the proposal to the delivery, but from understanding the technical details to handling the emotional challenges that can arise with both clients and contractors. I have over 10 years of experience managing projects large and small, for Latin and multiscript families.

and production
My profession for over 20 years. I’ve drawn many superfamilies for several clients. I’m also happy to draw a single style of a font, fill out a character set, or make some adjustments to an existing design (with proper permission, as needed).
Any typographic question you have, I can help you answer it. Need help with pricing? Want some advice on narrowing down your next choice of retail font for your brand? Being independent allows me to work with anyone in the industry. I have a wide network of smart, considerate friends who are experts in their fields.
