EP39: Dave Foster on A Journey With Type


Listen Later

In this episode, we spoke with Dave Foster of Foster Type.
Dave is an independent designer based in Sydney who we all know about thanks to his typographic work through Foster Type. He draws typefaces and lettering for design studios, type foundries, brands and individuals around the world.
We heard about how Dave became a type designer, and along the way, we find out what the difference is between a typographer, a letterer and a type designer is – he just happens to do all three. We also talk through some of his most recent jobs, working with Re: on the Optus rebrand and his personal project Tour De Fonts, where he designs a new typeface to match each stage of the Tour De France – within the time that it takes them to ride it (about 4 or 5 hours).
