On Creative Characters, we meet creative people working at the intersection of type and everyday life. You can listen below, or on AppleSpotifyGoogle Podcasts, and wherever quality podcasts are available.

What if design tools helped you make smarter design decisions? 

This week, Dan Rhatigan talks with Typogram co-founders Hua Shu and Wenting Zhang about typography, side projects, AI, and the thrill of building tools for other creatives.

Hua and Wenting share how New York’s visual landscape shaped their love of type, how experimental side projects led them to entrepreneurship, and why publishing imperfect ideas can open unexpected doors. 

They also dig into Typogram’s two design tools: Typogram, a guided branding tool for non-designers, and Typogram Studio, a typography-first tool built for designers who want to explore the hidden richness inside fonts. 

Tune in for a thoughtful conversation about curiosity, craft, and what happens when designers build the tools they wish existed. 

As a special thank-you for listening, we’re giving away a mystery font pack. Inside, you’ll get three premium font families to use for commercial projects. All for free. Claim yours at typogram.co/launch.
