Stiggy & Sands
Stiggy & Sands is a lettering-driven type foundry rooted in craftsmanship, character, and the warm traditions of hand lettering and type design. Founded by longtime collaborators Brian Bonislawsky and Jim Lyles, the partnership brings decades of experience in lettering, logo design, illustration, and classic typographic refinement.
The Stiggy & Sands library is built around expressive, approachable typefaces that feel crafted rather than manufactured. The catalog ranges from friendly scripts and retro brush lettering to showcard-inspired displays, mid-century sign styles, lively slab serifs, practical sans-serifs, and character-rich text and display families. Across that range, the goal is always the same: to create type with personality, clarity, and everyday usefulness.
Stiggy & Sands fonts are designed for real-world creative work, including branding, packaging, signage, posters, editorial design, book covers, social graphics, and small business identity systems. Some families are playful and casual, while others are polished, nostalgic, bold, or refined, but each is drawn with an eye toward warmth, readability, and modern design needs.
At its heart, Stiggy & Sands is about handcrafted typography with a friendly modern soul: type that feels familiar, inviting, and thoughtfully made, ready to bring charm and character to the words it carries.
