Our friends at Happy Cog originally pitched the idea of utilizing an expressive, typography-driven Hero image to act as our masthead during our 2012 site redesign. Since then, we’ve evolved the concept with our talented in-house design crew, and we’ve been lucky to work with an amazing contingent of designers and illustrators who keep our homepage looking typographically enchanting each month.

Over the last four years, we’ve commissioned design dignitaries and up-and-comers alike to craft big, expressive typographic images for us. Whether you’re a design veteran, or somebody fresh on the scene, all are welcome to apply to design a Fonts.com hero image. Since then, our hero program has really taken on a life of its own—this May we wanted to take a closer look at the fantastic designs we’ve recently set live.
