Lynne Garell

Ever since she was a little kid, Lynne Garell has been fascinated by letterforms. She used to make her own greeting cards, which she sold to family members for 25 cents. At some point, her dad visited the advertising office at the town’s newspaper, and came home with style sheets for about 20 typefaces. She started copying the typefaces and using them on her cards. At about the same time, she started practicing calligraphy.

After graduate school, Lynne was employed in the type department of Adobe Systems, where she became a typographic voyeur. She worked with many type designers, calligraphers, book designers, and other luminaries from the design world, helping them to bring new type designs to the market. She also found time to incorporate her love of maps into an Adobe Original design named Carta.

Lynne’s primary role at Adobe was as Type Evangelist, educating people about the history and use of typefaces.
