Silas Dilworth received his BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago with a focus in Painting and Drawing, concurrently maintaining independent study as Communications Director for the Student Union Galleries. It was his technical experience with the Galleries and part-time work as a signmaker that sparked his interest in type design.
