Salve Regina Univeristy and the Rhode Island regional chapter of the AIGA have organized an exhibit called Font Specimens: A Collection of Fonts Provided by Font Bureau. Our very own Cyrus Highsmith will also be giving a lecture at the university on Thursday, February 5.

As Font Bureau’s Senior Designer, Cyrus works on the development of new font design. Publications such as Martha Stewart Living, MensHealth, Rolling Stone, and The Wall Street Journal have featured his fonts. In 2001, Highsmith was featured in Print Magazine’s New Visual Artist Review. His typefaces Prensa and Relay were among the winners at Bukva:Raz!, the international type design competition. He has exhibited his work in the United States and Europe. Cyrus has been part of the Font Bureau since he graduated with honors from Rhode Island School of Design in 1997. He also teaches typography in the department of Graphic Design at RISD and gives lectures as well as workshops throughout the United States, Mexico, and Europe.
