Abstract Office is the Los Angeles-based type foundry and design practice of Benjamin Woodlock. The office produces digital typefaces for use across media and collaborates on design from custom typefaces to branding, motion, and editorial projects.

Ben is a creative director, designer, and educator whose work explores a wide range of media – from motion graphics in film and television to visual identities for cultural and corporate institutions.

An Emmy Award-winner, he has designed title sequences and documentary graphics for platforms such as HBO, Apple TV+, Disney, Hulu, and Netflix, and made motion for brands like TikTok, Meta, Adobe, Samsung, and Walmart. His design and writing have been featured in Slanted, Idea, and Artforum, and has been on display at LACMA.

Ben’s custom type design includes the wordmark and Valinor font family created for Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, as well as McBean, a typeface for California Institute of the Arts, where he teaches type and motion.
