Before setting up shop as Outside The Line, she was a design director and art director overseeing the corporate image of various companies. After she discovered the possibilities of desktop font design, her life took a new turn. She now specializes in witty, wonderfully usable picture fonts and handwritten script fonts. From the shores of Lake Monona, Wisconsin: meet Rae Kaiser, the Lady of the Line.
He is probably Finland’s most prolific type designer, and his foundry is simply named Suomi — which, of course, is what the Finns call their country. While working with us on this interview, he realized with a slight shock that he’s been in the font game for two decades. Yet his letterforms are as youthful and fresh as ever. His most recent offerings, such as the smart handwriting face Suomi Script and the spirited Suomi Sans, show a convincing mixture of attitude and maturity. Meet Tomi Haaparanta, our man in Helsinki.
