Lipton Letter Design

Richard Lipton is a senior designer at Type Network developing original typefaces as well as custom font designs for international clients.

He began his lettering journey while studying art and design in college where he was introduced to the magic of calligraphy. Essentially self-taught, Lipton continued his calligraphic studies independently and upon graduating in 1974 he freelanced as a calligrapher, sign painter, and graphic designer eventually establishing a studio in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In 1983, Lipton joined Bitstream, an innovative digital type foundry under the guidance of Mike Parker and Matthew Carter and helped to make Bitstream’s retail library one of the most respected in the industry. In his tenure as a senior designer, Lipton developed two original type families: Arrus, and Cataneo (in collaboration with Jacqueline Sakwa). After leaving Bitstream in 1991, Lipton once again created an independent lettering studio and designed many original typefaces including Bickham Script Pro for Adobe and Sloop for Font Bureau. Lipton is currently on the faculty at RISD where he teaches both type design and calligraphy. He is also a founding partner of Type Network.
