GeezerVison is showing en.wikipedia.org — Mark Simonson - Wikipedia
Mark Simonson (born 1955) is an American independent type designer who works in St. Paul, Minnesota.[2][3][4][5][6] CareerSimonson has described his typefaces as often being inspired by lettering styles of the past, such as the graphic design of the 1970s, Art Deco graphics and wood type.[7][8][9] Simonson’s most popular font family is Proxima Nova (1994, revised 2005), a sans-serif design in the geometric and grotesque styles used by companies such as BuzzFeed, Mashable, NBC, The Onion, TikTok and Wired.[10][11][12] As of October 2021, it is the fifth highest-selling family on font sales website MyFonts.[13] His fonts also include Anonymous Pro, a monospaced font designed for programming released under the OFL. Simonson worked as a graphic designer before specializing in type design.[1][14][15] His career as a type designer got a boost when his partner Pat won money on the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,[16][17] as her success allowed him to take six months off from graphic design work to design several new typefaces that he could sell.[7][8] He has also written blog articles on the history of type design and the lettering styles used in films, including the type blog Typographica.[18][19] References
