Agent 012 has earned his black belt by wowing clients for nearly 30 years. Wielding a razor sharp keyboard since the days when typesetting meant rotating film masters and RC paper, he spent his formative freelance years working in several San Francisco typesetting shops. He kerns with conscience and respects a design’s integrity above all. Key to his sang-froid is staying attuned to multiple modes of technology. He remains a longtime consultant on everything from automating publishing workflows to localization engineering. However, his first love remains building books and tweaking the process by leavening with enough automation so that there really is time to sweat the typographic details.
