This month’s interviewee left Buenos Aires almost a decade ago to study type design in the Netherlands. He put down roots in Amsterdam and set up ReType, one of the country’s most productive and versatile type foundries. An avid reader of books on type history, he is equally inspired by ancient calligraphy, Dutch modernism and vernacular lettering. He has roamed the streets of Amsterdam to research letterforms that few Dutch designers ever paid serious attention to, and digitized some of them into beautifully made and wonderfully usable fonts. Meet Ramiro Espinoza, an Argentinian designer in the land of windmills.
Our July interviewee is the co-founder of Alias, a London design studio that made a name for itself producing cutting-edge designs for magazine publishers, music labels, fashion designers and more. To lend their designs an unmistakable personal touch, they make individualist fonts that MyFonts offers under two labels: Alias Collection and Alias. Most of the Alias typefaces were designed by the man whose offbeat headline font for the London 2012 Olympics will be on a billion TV screens as of this week. Meet Gareth Hague, not your average type designer.
