Meet Kelsey Kleiner

Kelsey Kleiner is a type designer and creative director with a love for building brand identities from the letterform up.

She launched OneTen The Studio® in 2021 after several years in the corporate design world, stepping into entrepreneurship to create more intentional, personal, and type-focused work. Since then, her practice has grown to include retail font design, custom lettering systems, and creative consulting for brands and studios alike.

Kelsey holds a BA in Graphic Design from Mercyhurst University and began her formal type education in 2022 through Type Electives and Practica. Her approach blends strategic thinking with a deep appreciation for detail—resulting in design work that feels both editorial and grounded, expressive and enduring. She is currently focused on expanding her font library, exploring offscreen inspiration, and collaborating with aligned founders on projects where typography leads the story.
