Creative Characters S3 E7: Exploring all things novel and familiar with Mark Simonson.

I think that one of my secret weapons is that working as a graphic designer and art director over a 20-year period gave me a pretty solid sense of what I think works and what doesn’t work and in type and what kinds of things are more useful and less useful.

On Creative Characters, we meet the people and personalities behind the brands, campaigns, and designs we love. You can listen to the podcast on Apple, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and wherever quality podcasts are available. 

Mark Simonson has designed some of the most widely used typefaces in the world. Host Charles Nix sits down to talk influences, process, and why truly memorable work – such as Simonson’s versatile, legible, and wildly ubiquitous Proxima Nova – has to be “both novel and familiar.”

And speaking of legibility, don’t forget to check out the article about font legibility mentioned in our intro here.
