About the lecture
Steve Matteson, owner at Matteson Typographics
5 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 10, in Carlson Auditorium (Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science, room 1125).
Fonts and typography were once esoteric topics known only to visual communicators. Now these topics are part of the mainstream. This talk explores how his RIT education prepared Matteson for a diverse and evolving career in the world of letters.
Matteson is a type designer whose work quietly powers billions of screens and printed pages worldwide. Over three decades, he has crafted fonts for some of the most recognizable technology and consumer brands — Microsoft’s Segoe, Google’s Droid and Noto, Toyota, Unilever, Xbox, and Rocket Mortgage, among many others. Whether working on a global corporate type system or a rare historical revival, Matteson brings an artist’s eye, an engineer’s precision, and an educator’s passion to every project.
