It's me Simon Stratford
I create everything from custom fonts for advertising agencies to ready to buy fonts for designers to the occasional digital oil painting for TV and print.

Love what you do
Type is everywhere.
I always had a fascination with it. As a kid I did a work experience at a sign writers and I loved it. For ages I kept telling people, “See that sign. I did that”.
I may be older but I still get a kick out of saying “I did that”.
I’ve spent 20 years working in the design industry and was a web designer by trade. But got tired of the rat race. So I stopped doing things I didn’t want to do—and started doing things that I did want to do—more creative things.
Things that I cared about.
Eclectic mix
Font design and digital painting.
Someone once told me, “The things you love doing in your spare time should be the things you do full-time.” My passion turned out to be font design and digital painting—an eclectic mix I know.
I love both, so I decided to turn my side hustle into a full-time career.
I’ve worked with companies like Three Mobile, ITV, King, Outpost Games, and Reebok to name just a few.
I also run a successful online shop selling creative assets, designs, and photography. You can find my products right here but also on the worlds biggest digital markets Creative Market, Envato Elements and You Work For Them.
