Matt Willey’s bold typeface will boldly save the world

Matt Willey who took on the role of art director at The New York Times Magazine in December of last year will not settle for anything. So he decided to refresh his narrow and muscular headline TIMMONS NY font which was originally conceived for a Jazz FM booklet back in 2012 and to donate it to a campaign with a soul. This is Willey’s contribution to the fund-raising project BuyFontsSaveLives which sells typefaces to raise money to support Cancer Research UK and Macmillan Cancer Support. The brainchild of Haymarket creative director Paul Harpin, this campaign was inspired by Harpin’s niece Laura, who sadly died aged just 26. Willey whose bold, compressed, caps-only headline font in one weight with multiple glyph alternates font graciously covered NYT magazine’s special edition, ‘Walking New York’, which was published in April 2015, donated TIMMONS NY to the campaign in honour of his father Nick who was taken by cancer in 2011. Buy this rugged font in OpenType format and all proceeds will go directly to the charities. Please remember the following: next time someone asks you if buying a typeface can help save someone’s life, the answer is yes.
