A graduate of Rochester Institute of Technology, Steve has an extensive background in typography, design and printing which he has applied to his development of high quality typefaces.

His work can be found in user interface designs (such as Windows Vista, Xbox 360 and Google's Android Platform); in publishing (such as Pescadero Pro, Andy and Endurance Pro); and for corporate branding (such as Symantec, Microsoft and Alcon Labs).

Steve is involved with a charitable program called 'Hope for Grieving Children' - an orphan counseling program started by his father Dr. Richard Matteson in Zambia, Africa. The program teaches pastors, educators and counselors how to care for the over 800,000 orphans in Zambia. The program is also expanding to provide meals and education to these children who are otherwise likely to wind up living on the streets. Steve works on brochures and maintains the program's website: www.hopeforgrievingchildren.org
