“Fonts are more than words. They tell a story, help sell a point, or evoke memories and feelings ... It’s a visual cue, almost instant, no matter what the words themselves say.”
As Digital Operations Manager at Monotype, Jake Murtaugh’s work sits at the intersection of design, technology, and storytelling. He’s not a developer, but he dabbles in code. He’s not a designer, but he helps shape the way Monotype’s fonts are seen and experienced online. And his appreciation of visual creativity extends to his hobbies, too, with a passion for film photography (and a robust camera collection).
