As a coach, I treat projects confidentially. I do not ask for part ownership of the project or for a mention, although mentions are lovely when they happen.

Meet Your Coach
Hi there, my name is Troy Leinster, and I’ll be your coach for the Typemasters Principles small group coaching. I’m an Australian typeface designer and founder of Leinster Type, and I currently live in Jersey City, just across the river from New York City.
Over the last ten years, I’ve studied under many typeface designers around the world, collecting and refining my type design process, which I now share with others like yourself. In 2021, I founded Typemasters.xyz, and have now coached over 500 designers through the process of developing a typeface from concept to release.
From 2014-2021 I worked at the Hoefler&Co Type Foundry and taught typeface design at Cooper Union in New York. I’m a graduate of Type & Media program at KABK in The Hague and the Type@Cooper program at Cooper Union in New York.
I look forward to working with you to develop your typeface further.
Troy.
Reviews
Troy has the perception of an accomplished type designer, and he is also a gifted communicator and teacher. His recorded reviews follow a clear, logical structure, and his critiques are insightful, respectful, and encouraging. They have helped me move projects forward at exactly the moments I needed help most. The recorded format lets me request and receive help at the times that work best for me.
