Matthew Smith

✨ I am looking for a new full-time job! ✨ As you may know, I’ve been working closely with Louise Fili as her Senior Designer and Associate, and more recently as a Partner at Tipofili. After nearly six years, I am looking for what’s next! matthewsmith.website/portfolio

Thinking about when my student loan provider switched (which was outside of my control) and my credit score dropped like 21 points

Kinda of surreal to walk down 7th avenue and be able to photograph four different places you’ve worked on

This is so chaotic

Does someone have a list of sans-serif fonts with a serifed capital “I” either as the default or available as a stylistic alt?

one of the best essayists we've got newyorker.com/news/essay/zoh…

One time Louise said I was brave for wearing linen and I still haven’t recovered

Pleasantly surprised by the tiny little serifs on the headline type! (They’re probably reverse ink traps since the type is set in reverse, but I choose to believe they are teeny tiny serifs)

If I learn some sort of back end development, it is over for y’all

Going to be sore as fuck tomorrow lol

When you and another person say the same thing at the same time, you say “jinx you owe me a coke” When my wife and I say the same thing at the same time, I say “jinx you owe me 6 million dollars” And I think that’s beautiful

If you are at @TypographicsNYC and want to see a preview of the new type foundry directory, you can probably find me sitting in front of Cooper Union this morning ✌️

Current status of my life, searching why the hell do I sneeze uncontrollably every morning

Was reviewing a Tipofili font w/ Andy today, and I was complimenting something in the font not realizing I had drawn it, and he had to stop me to be like “you’re complimenting yourself right now” 💀 lmaooo

My work’s music channel in Slack is mostly just me sharing random shit which I think is a sign for me to revive manila-folders.com (admittedly I did start redesigning it recently)
