Hi, my name is Stephen Nixon, and Arrow Type is my type foundry & design studio.
I designed & was the primary creator of Recursive Mono & Sans, an extensive variable font family for code & UI. This project started as a thesis project at KABK TypeMedia, and I subsequently received support from Google Fonts to complete it and release it as an open-source, OFL-licensed project. I am continuing to refine and maintain the project, and if it‘s a font you get use of, I would very much appreciate support to help me continue to maintain the project and address issues as they are found.
Beyond Recursive, I work on other type design projects, and I intend to release as many tools and DrawBot scripts as I can via open-source, permissively-licensed repos.
