OhNo Type

OH no Type Co. is a digital type foundry founded in 2015 by James Edmondson and based in San Jose, California. Edmondson studied graphic design at California College of the Arts and type design at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague, and built the foundry around a taste for lively, characterful letterforms rather than neutral systems.

The catalogue mixes retail families such as Swear Display, Covik Sans, Vulf Mono and Ohno Blazeface with custom typefaces for brands, on the stated aim of making graphic design fun for everyone from freelancers to international agencies. Edmondson also co-founded Future Fonts in 2018 and teaches in the Extended Program at Type West.
