Lars Bergquist, of Timberwolf Type, born in 1936, is a self-proclaimed "leftover from the age of lead type and letterpress printing." His first avocation was history, which may well explain his love of classical letterforms, historically significant typefaces and "...fuddy-duddy typography in general." Recently retired from a lifetime in the technically advanced field of reference publishing, he has decided to spend his next life as a dedicated type designer. His typeface Absolut Type -- published by PSY/OPS as Aalborg -- received a Certificate of Excellence in the Bukva:raz! type contest arranged by the ATypI in 2001. He has been happily married to the same woman since 1964, lives outside Stockholm, Sweden, and has two daughters and a grandson. His atypical interests are history, small arms, photography and hiking in the mountains of Lapland.

Mário Feliciano began plumbing the typographic depths in the early 1990s, while designing for several magazines, including 'SurfPortugal'. During his initial rounds of experimentation he became progressively captivated by the historical aspects of typography, especially as they pertain to Portugal and its written language. By 1997 had published a number of his designs, and was the Portuguese delegate for ATypI; but by this point his involvement in type consisted of pure research and investigation. In 1999 Adobe published Mário's whimsical Strumph family, which he had designed five years prior; and he became the Portuguese agent for The Enschedé Font Foundry. In recent years, he has designed several proprietary typefaces while continuing his research, and has begun the foundation for the much anticipated Feliciano Type Foundry. When not working, Mário can be found surfing, golfing, or practicing yoga in and about Lisbon.
