Tré Seals founded Vocal Type in 2016 in order to address how the lack of diversity of race, ethnicity, and gender in type has led to a lack of diversity in thought systems, ideas, and creations. Each typeface Vocal Type produces highlights a piece of history, from the Women's Suffrage Movement in Argentina to the Civil Rights Movement in America. Through Vocal Type, Tré seeks to introduce diverse perspectives from design communities that still have a small voice in the design industry. For TypeCraft, Tré takes us on the journey of creating Vocal Type through to where it has taken him: working with Spike Lee, crafting typography for political campaigns, and even designing a font inspired by his own life story.Subscribe to TypeCraft Season One at the Proof&Co.
