ULGA Type is a typeface design & lettering studio run by Michael Gills
Hello, I'm a freelance lettering artist and type designer based in Diss, on the South Norfolk border. My skills encompass lettering, logo design, monogram design, calligraphy, custom font design and typeface design.
Even though most of my work is produced digitally, I still consider myself a craftsman and take pride in the quality of my work, approaching every project with the same care and attention to detail.
Bite-size bio
I started my career at Letraset in London as a trainee type designer (see type design page for full bio), way back when Hair Metal was in full flow, where I enjoyed seven fruitful years producing and designing text and display fonts as well as typographic ornament and border fonts.
From there, I moved away from type design into graphic and web design. The wheel has now turned full circle and I've returned to my first love: font design, lettering and calligraphy.
