In 2018, I graduated with an MA in Type Design from TypeMedia, a 10-month immersion in type at the Royal Academy of Art (KABK) in The Hague, Netherlands. For my thesis project, I created Recursive, a typeface exploring the intersection of sign painting, code, and the emerging technology of variable fonts. In 2019, Google Fonts commissioned me to complete the project for open-source distribution. Recursive is now the first release of my new type foundry, Arrow Type.

https://www.recursive.design is one of the coolest demo/test website of a font I've ever seen. Perfectly executed, like the font itself. Great work Stephen, can't wait to use Recursive.
