Richard Kegler

Richard Kegler is the senior partner and founder of P22 type foundry. For years before P22 became a ‘real’ type designing entity, Mr. Kegler had been involved in various aspects of the book arts ranging from hand-binding and hand printing to hypertext. His varied interest in the history and processes of art and design initially seemed to have little in common with interests in up-and-coming technologies, but more and more there seemed to be much common ground that could be found. This meeting of old and new has become the premise of P22’s collection of fonts. With so much history overlooked and so much potential for new technologies, Mr. Kegler sees no limit to future projects.
