About this Event
Chris Skillern is redefining what modern type design can be. A citizen of the Cherokee Nation and founder of Tulsey Type, Chris creates expressive multiscript typefaces that bridge Latin and Cherokee traditions with warmth, care, and cultural integrity.
His work includes Chokecherry, a Latin and Cherokee typeface released on Future Fonts, as well as custom projects for the London Stock Exchange Group, Brand New Conference, and Cherokee Film. Most notably, Chris designed the typeface used in the Cherokee language dub of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. He also led the Typotheque Cherokee Project, an ambitious initiative to expand Cherokee syllabary fonts for future generations.
As part of ADCT’s Route 66-inspired season, Chris will share his creative path and how honoring where you come from can shape where your work travels next.
