‘Where do you get your ideas from?’ is a question I am often asked and one not deserving a simplistic answer. From the beginnings of projects I’ll show the variety of sources that inspire me with my type design. And while the sources of inspiration may be far from evident in the final types, it is interesting to reflect on their role in originating the creative process.
