PSY/OPS Type Foundry is an independent type design studio based in San Francisco, founded in 1995 by Eric “Rod” Cavazos (aka RXC). Born out of a desire to explore the edges of typographic form while honoring traditional craft, the studio blends playful experimentation with artisanal precision. Notable works include Eidetic Neo, Anglia Script, Motorix, Corbeau Pro, Goosebreak, Contempo Élan, and Crash Numbering—several of which have earned recognition like the Graphis Type Design Gold Award in 2018. Though specific client names aren’t widely publicized, PSY/OPS has produced custom type for major tech and media brands, game developers, manufacturers, publishers, and governments in the Bay Area and beyond. The foundry operates through referrals, preferring depth over hype, avoiding social media in favor of focused collaboration. Its name—short for “psychological operations”—reflects a belief in the power of typography to shape perception and influence decisions.
