From studying 19th-century sans serifs to expanding Gotham for the Obama Foundation, Sara Soskolne’s career has helped define how the world reads today. In this episode, Doug Wilson sits down with his longtime friend and brilliant type designer, Sara Soskolne, for an honest, wide-ranging conversation about growing up curious, falling into typography, and Sara’s experiences of coming into her own in a male-dominated field. It’s an episode filled with humor, insights, and a touch of typographic magic.
