Jon Tan
Hi, I’m Jon. I design products and services and lead teams making durable, inclusive, aesthetic design for screens, hands, and paper.
I’ve helped organisations of all sizes, from small companies to start-ups to behemoths like the BBC and National Geographic. In 2005, I was the first designer to be accepted into the International Society for Typographic Designers based on work for the screen alone. In 2009, I founded the vanguard webfonts service, Fontdeck, that brought some of the world’s best typefaces to the web for the first time. I’ve given dozens of conference talks to share my practice for events such as An Event Apart, OSCON, and Ampersand. I’ve also written for publications such as Typographica, TYPE magazine, 24 Ways, and edited the typography chapter for the first Smashing Book.
Formerly, I was a partner at Fictive Kin and Analog, Creative Director at OmniTI, and founder of Grow Collective. To find out more please see the interviews and profile on my old site.
For design, speaking, or writing engagements (or just to say hello) please email, follow on Twitter or Instagram, or befriend on Faceborg.
