Bio
Chris Skillern is a type designer and citizen of the Cherokee Nation from Tulsa, Oklahoma. A
15-year-long obsession with drawing type led Chris to Type West, the Letterform Archive’s type
design certificate program, in 2021, where he designed Meli, a type family inspired by his
daughter, which supports the Latin alphabet and the Cherokee syllabary. Since graduating from
Type West, Chris has had the opportunity to work with foundries like A+ and XYZ Type on
custom type projects for brands big and small. When not assisting other designers, he stays
busy with his own foundry, Tulsey Type, which features his friendly, lively, and detailed designs
for Latin and Cherokee. He is currently working with the Cherokee Nation, the foundry
Typotheque, and others on new fonts for the syllabary.
