John was well on his way to becoming a draftsman in England when he happened to meet his mentor, Mick Kilgallon. That chance meeting convinced him to shift gears and learn the sign trade instead. Today he is an expert gold-leaf and glass artist, producing exquisite works of art using traditional techniques handed down by the masters. John created his first font, the popular LHF Classic Caps, in 2002 and has since created over 60 classic period typefaces.
