| Bigelow and Holmes |
Kris Holmes is an American typographer/type designer born in 1950. She studied calligraphy under Lloyd Reynolds, as well as taking a lettering class with Ed Benguiat. She eventually received her B.A. from Harvard University and in 1978 she began working with Charles Bigelow. The only formal training in type design that she has was a two week course with Hermann Zapf in 1979, shortly after this she went to work for HeilCo. in Germany as a type designer. Together with Bigelow, she designed or created typeface family Lucida. They also design the face Apple Chancery. Several of the fonts designed by Bigelow and Holmes are issued with several operating systems including Macintosh and Windows. Holmes is also the President of Bigelow & Holmes Inc., a typeface design studio. Lucida Calligraphy and Lucida Handwriting are two fonts that I am fond of when thinking of inspiration for my typeface.

Does Kris Holmes have an official site where I might be able to find more about her work and/or biography? I am doing an assignment for my advance typography class and I chose to do some research on Kris Holmes, would be very appreciated. :3
