31. From Surf Life to Type Boss: Creative Hustle & Font Fame w/ Tom Cunningham

  • Resumen

  • In this inspiring and laid-back conversation, I sit down with Tom Cunningham, the founder of Tropical Type, to talk about his seven-year journey from surf-loving freelancer to building one of the most recognizable font foundries on the internet. We explore how Tom’s “fast font” philosophy democratized high-impact typography for everyday designers, why he ditched clients for creative freedom, and how he stays grounded in a rapidly evolving design world.


    Tom shares personal stories about launching his business with zero formal training, watching his fonts end up in Billie Eilish & Ed Sheeran videos, designing a typeface with his 5-year-old son, and how he’s navigating the rise of AI. If you’re a creative tired of design elitism or just someone trying to balance creativity with life, this one’s for you.
