A better way of getting your point across.

   

seblester.co.uk is the web site of Sebastian Lester, a type designer, illustrator and artist, and a man passionate about letterforms. 

Trained in Graphic Design at Central Saint Martins, he now works from Lewes in East Sussex , creating typefaces and type illustrations for some of the world's biggest companies, publications and events.  They include Apple, Nike, Intel, The New York Times, The 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics and J.D.
