About Type Network

Daphne Rose-Jevremov learned to appreciate type while working for Roger Black as controller in his first design firm and then successor businesses, Interactive Bureau, and Danilo Black, and Roger Black Studio. She has an enormous amount of respect for designers and believes that the value of publication and website design begins with good typography. An entrepreneur at heart, she started a consulting firm in 2009 working for creative firms on their finances so they can continue to do what they love best.

Lucas Czarnecki does a bit of everything, so long as it has to do with type. After teaching the first-ever course on Typography and Graphic Design at the University of Virginia, Lucas began a two-year letterpress printing apprenticeship at the Virginia Center of the Book. He then founded the Charlottesville Design Week—Virginia’s first design festival—and Type365—a typography blog read by thousands. While working under the name if it has words, Lucas presented at TypeCon, The Virginia Festival of the Book, Society of News Design, and TEDx. During one such conference, Lucas met Roger Black and began writing and designing for TYPE Magazine, where he continues to moonlight.

Kate Beckwith is a type fanatic who recently relocated to the Hudson Valley after 13 years in Oakland, California, where she earned her MFA and taught The Book in an Edition at Mills College. Her knowledge of type and letterforms extends all the way back to early writing systems like cuneiform, to the advent of moveable lead type, through paste-up graphic design, and up to contemporary digital type. As the first employee of Letterform Archive, she shared this knowledge with over 1500 in-person visitors and co-curated their first public exhibition, Without Type: the Dynamism of Handmade Letters. She comes to the Type Network team after stints with Typekit (now Adobe Fonts) and in communications outside the type world. She also makes small press poetry books as art director and publisher at Dogpark.
