An interview with Olivia King, design director and type designer

It’s a double dose of OK this week as our own Olivia Kane is interviewing the Australian design director and type designer, Olivia King. We promise it’s a fun and insightful conversation, and not confusing with all the Olivias! We talk about broaching the subject of bespoke typefaces with clients, the joys of open source, the art of creating a typeface that encompasses the essence of a whole geographic area, accessibility, and some mental health and career thoughts for designers. A great conversation to kick off 2022’s interviews.

We’ve also got some reading for you this week; something different from Bauhaus, a neat rebrand, some inspiration about the longevity of typography, and a bit of eye-candy in the form of some book spines.

If you spot anything cool on the web that you’d like us to chat about, hit us up on Twitter or Instagram, you’ll find us @theleagueof on both platforms.
