We were both huddled around the only Mac in the company doing fun stuff, whilst the Monotype staff were merely shaking their heads.Īfter my work at Monotype, both in the UK and the US, I started Dalton Maag with Liz Dalton, my wife. The day I started was also when I first met Just van Rossum, who spent a couple of months at Monotype for work experience. He invited me to join Monotype to start up a Custom Type department. During some work experience at Stempel (yes, I am that old), I met Rene Kerfante who eventually moved to Monotype in the UK. Doing Visual Communication was simply an extension of my desire to continue my design education and deepen my understanding of type design.Īs my education came to an end, I knew I wanted to be a type designer for the rest of my life. It was during this first bit of further education at Basel that I was introduced to type design. My background has always been in typography, starting with a typesetting apprenticeship and followed by a typographic design degree at the Basel School of Design. Bruno, how does a Swiss designer with a degree in Visual Communications from the Basel School of Design end up in London running a type design company?
