Type Designer (with a Branding focus)

We’re seeking a highly skilled Type Designer with demonstrable branding experience to collaborate with the studio on a freelance basis. This role is front-loaded toward genuine type design expertise — not simply typographic styling — paired with the ability to apply that craft meaningfully within contemporary luxury brand systems.

Who you are

A specialist designer with deep technical command of type design, capable of engineering bespoke typefaces and fonts to a professional retail and commercial standard. You understand type not just as form, but as a functional, extensible tool — and you can integrate that thinking seamlessly into brand identities.

Alongside this, you bring credible branding experience, ideally within the luxury sector, and are comfortable working across broader identity systems in collaboration with the wider creative team. You value precision, restraint and cultural intelligence, and your work demonstrates both typographic authorship and strategic intent.

Core requirements

• Proven experience designing and engineering custom typefaces suitable for commercial and retail release.
• Advanced technical proficiency in font design software (Glyphs preferred, but open to equivalent tools).
• Strong background in branding and visual identity design, with real-world project experience.
• Portfolio demonstrating type-led brand systems, not just standalone fonts or lettering.
• Experience working with luxury, fashion, arts or high-end cultural clients, or comparable sectors.
• Exceptional attention to detail and an understanding of typographic systems across digital and print.
• Comfortable collaborating within multidisciplinary teams and responding to creative direction.
• Fluent in English.
