Hi, I'm Ben and I've been working in and around Python for typeface design since 2005. I work mainly on the packages under the RoboTools banner, but also dip into other things like fontTools and the Unified Font Format from time to time. All this is in service of both my day job (as a typeface designer who runs the type foundry XYZ Type) and the larger type community that has given me so much.

However, with running a foundry, my time is rather limited in the area of doing things for free that take away from activities that generate revenue to pay my mortgage. Any sponsorship helps to allow me to give more time to working on issues, documentation, and new features.
