I have been involved with book publishing and design for most
of my career in graphic design. I do book design and layout, typography,
including the design of original typefaces, cover and interior
illustration, logo design, and publishing pre-press.
Client: Minnesota Historical Society, St. Paul, MN, 2004
In 2000 I was hired by the Dept. of American Indian Studies at the University of Minnesota to create a Dakota language font
to be used to compile linguistic material on both Mac and Windows
platforms. The Dakota font contains several special characters,
and is completely cross-platform. In 2004, I was asked to expand
the font into a family of fonts, for the publication of 550 Dakota Verbs by the MN Historical Society Press in February 2005. Above is
a sample page from the book.
Still available for download is the original Dakota language font that I designed on commission from the Dept. of American Indian Studies at the University of Minnesota.
