Garrett Boge

Garrett Boge has over 30 years of professional lettering and type design experience. He began his career as a lettering artist and type designer at Hallmark Cards in the early 1980’s, leaving to establish his own studio, initially in Kansas City and later Seattle. Acquiring his first Macintosh in 1986, Boge was one of the first independent type designers to embrace desktop font development tools, and start his own digital foundry – LetterPerfect. In the ensuing years, he has designed more than two dozen original typefaces and produced over a hundred custom and proprietary faces for major companies such as Hallmark, Viacom, Microsoft, Monotype, and Apple Computer. LetterPerfect’s growing line of original display fonts shows both Garrett’s early influence as a greeting card lettering artist, and his more recent interest in reviving historical lettering styles.
