Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPaul Hunt is a typeface designer and font developer with over a decade of experience at Adobe Systems, where he led production on complex Arabic and Hebrew extensions and helped create Adobe’s first open-source families, Source Sans and Source Code. He combines hands-on drawing and production skills with OpenType programming and tooling expertise across RoboFont, OT Master, AFDKO and FontLab, and brings practical Python familiarity to automate workflows. Paul has a strong track record delivering multi-script families—overseeing Devanagari, Bengali, Gujarati, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and Gurmukhi projects—and coordinating designers and consultants to produce industry-grade fonts. Trained with an MA in Typeface Design from the University of Reading, he also has experience as an independent foundry principal and hands-on production engineer, giving him both creative and operational fluency in type production. An understated but important strength is his history of bridging typographic design and engineering to ship fonts that work robustly across global writing systems.
