Our names are Sahar Afshar and José Solé, and we are partners in life and in Dogray, a type foundry based in the south of London. We met in 2017 in a type conference⁠—⁠here’s to our dearly departed TypoLabs Berlin⁠🍻⁠—⁠and hit it off (we actually met in 2015 at our friend Kalapi’s wedding in India, but that’s a story for another time). After working in a large type design studio for some years, we decided to leave the safety of our full time jobs and get back to what brought us to making fonts in the first place; the joy of creative decision making in the design of typefaces, and reconnecting with the wider design community. We started Dogray Type Foundry to do just that; to enjoy designing fonts we feel will be useful, and bring fun back into our careers. Very importantly, we wanted to embrace collaboration over competition; we center co‑creating at the heart of our foundry⁠—⁠not just in combining our individual strengths and skills, but also by using each of our library fonts as an opportunity to collaborate with a different creative from the wider fields of Arts and Humanities. We do this because of our fundamental belief; that best work happens when unique and diverse perspectives collide.
