Q: What do you think could be improved about the type design process?Ĭookie is a script typeface, based on brush calligraphy. But I'd say that calligraphy and drawing are essential to understanding the construction of the letters. It's hard to say, because I'm still learning myself. Q: Can you recommend how other type designers can learn the skills involved in making type? I'd say I'm quite competitive, so when I see other peoples projects and I think 'Wow, that's so cool!', it get's me motivated ) I spend an awful amount of time digging through the internet, checking out blogs, personal websites, etc. What inspires you to keep motivated throughout all the different stages?įor sure, Type Design is all about details, that an average user won't even notice, so you need to be patient to do this kind of work. Q: Designing a new typeface is a long journey. For example, to make some of them more 'normal', transparent, in order to make others more distinctive or decorative. I like the moment when you can start writing words and sentences with your letters, because then you can actually work on the flow and on the balance between the characters. Type Design is not about designing one letter, it's about creating a system: the alphabet. Generally, I'm interested in complex, narrative projects that require creating a whole from various elements (meaning: editorial design, information design, typography). Q: What is your favourite part of the type design process, and why? When I came back to Poland for my last year of studies, I was 100% sure that I wanted to focus on type design.Īnd here I am now, 3 months after my graduation, with my first typeface to be published: Cookie :)

So I took a one year break and moved to Barcelona, Spain, where I worked as an intern in Estudio Mariscal (which was quite an experience, as they were working on the 'Chico y Rita' movie at that time), and did a one-year Masters in Typography and Editorial Design at Eina, Escola de Disseny i Art. Originally, I studied product design, but after 3 years I found myself more interested in graphics than in furniture.

I've recently graduated from the University of Arts in Poznan, Poland. Q: What is your background as a designer, and how did you become interested in type design?Īctually, I'm still a beginner in the world of type design: I have drawn letters for only 2 years. She currently lives and works in Barcelona and Google Web Fonts is proud to include her first published typeface, Cookie.
