"Untitled" (Save Your Breath)

Seals has been on a lifelong path when it comes to design: he's been practicing writing in cursive since he was in kindergarten; sold $3 graffiti style name cards to his classmates between the ages of ten and eleven. By high school, he was designing tattoos, bead jewelry, comic strips for the school paper, yearbooks, his first font, and more; and at 20, he promised himself that by 25, he'd become an internationally respected designer. Which he now is, having founded his eponymous design studio (2015-2020) straight out of college and his renowned font foundry (Vocal Type) just a year later. Vocal Type is a diversity-driven type foundry, inspired by the lack of diversity in the graphic design industry. Each typeface highlights a piece of history from a different underrepresented race, ethnicity, or gender—from the Women's Suffrage Movement in Argentina to the Civil Rights Movement in America and beyond.
