EnZed Design has moved to a new 'hood in Denver—Lower Highland, or “LoHi” to the locals. Just zip up I-25 and exit at 20th or Speer North to access our studio located at 3316 Tejon Street.

Each features an open floor plan, mezzanine level and a garage door in lieu of plate glass windows.

The quality of its curves and swash encapsulates the style of a family of letterforms and offers a place to be a little over the top. Many typophiles have a mental catalog of which typefaces sport the best Qs... and question marks... and ampersands. Quenching your curiosity: Bembo and Trajan have classic Qs with restrained elegance and flow. Mrs. Eaves, a contemporary serif, quarantines balance within its curves. For the less-is-more camp, you can’t ignore the quietude of the Gotham sans serif Q. No fuss, no muss. Ding! It’s ready. Quintessentially,

This June, AIGA Colorado is honoring two of our brightest and boldest creatives to be recipients of the prestigious AIGA Fellow Award.
