Weโre two self-employed lettering artists who met by sliding into each otherโs DMโs.

About
Dear hand letterers, designers, and artists of all sortsโdespite what your grandma thinks, we know thereโs a whole lot more to what you do than just โdrawing pretty pictures.โ This podcast, hosted by Katie Johnson and Ilana Griffo of Goodtype, is about what it *really* means to be a working creative. From finding clients to pricing your work and nerding the heck out about kerning, weโre covering everything that goes into building a successful and sustainable business around your passion.
And weโre not just doing it alone! Weโll be tapping some of your current (and soon-to-be) favorite artists for inspiration, insight, and laughs. Weโre big on giving takeaways that you can actually put into action, and weโre even bigger on having a good time while we do it. Tune into the Typecast twice a month for a tittle-ating time (yep, weโre gonna type-pun your face off), and donโt forget to subscribe and leave a review so we can show our moms how famous we are!
Want to be on an episode of The Typecast?
Weโre always looking for guests who want to help our audience of artists grow their creative careers (while sharing a few laughs, of course). Submit yourself, a friend, or a topic you want us to cover on an upcoming episode!
Want to get your brand in front of our listeners?
Weโre focused on creating long-term partnerships that go beyond a quick feature during an ad break. Weโre looking for brands that will stick with us, form deep relationships with our community, and help our artists take real, actionable steps towards their goals.
Because our partnership philosophy is different, our sponsor opportunities look different as well, including touch-points across all of Goodtypeโs content. Interested in talking about what a partnership with us could look like? Weโd love to chat.
