 "Having
concluded five full years of business," observes Larry, "and
with an annual growth rate of 20%, it is gratifying to realize
how well we've been received in the type-related markets."
Asked to what he attributes this reception, Larry responds, "Galápagos
is the place to shop for fonts! The synergy of our state-of-the-art
design tools and unique blend of design and technical talent—that's
what accounts for our success."
Larry has nearly 30 years experience in typographic design and product development. Before founding Galápagos Design Group at the start of 1994, Larry held the position of Vice President of Type Operations at Bitstream, Inc., in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
