Sebastian Lester

Sebastian Lester began his career after graduating with honours from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London. The first part of his career was spent designing for the music and games industries, dabbling in 3D animation and designing type for the likes of T-26 and Garage Fonts. Then, in 2000, Lester joined Monotype, where he now creates fonts for both on-screen and print uses. “I’ve always had a deep interest in type and typography,” says Lester, “but when I began creating text typefaces for Monotype, I gained new insight into the subtleties of letterform design.”

At Monotype, he has been part of the team developing fonts for a wide range of clients including Waitrose, BG Bank Denmark and Opel. Scene is Lester’s first commercial typeface family created for the Monotype Classics Typeface Library.
