Jill Bell
Jill Bell lives and works in Los Angeles creating logotypes, icons, and hand-lettering for advertising, packaging, and entertainment, as well as doing web and print design. Jill has designed and digitized original faces for Fontek and ITC, Adobe, Agfa/Monotype and others as well as for clientele such as Disney and Johnson & Johnson. Most of her lettering work is designed to capture and retain a handwritten feel, and this is also true of the majority of her fonts, such as the popular Gigi and Smack.
