Phil Garnham & Damien Collot, Creative Directors at Monotype, on Why Fonts Really Matter (Plus, Icons for Peace & Conflict)

Dela

In this episode, we speak with Phil Garnham and Damien Collot, both Executive Creative Directors at Monotype, the global leader of fonts including Helvetica, Futura, Ariel, and Gotham. Their collaborative work involves exploring how typography, font, and graphic design reflect our shifting culture and how type serves as a brand’s essential visual voice in real-life contexts.

Phil and Damien share what makes font and design culturally relevant, how designers impact and reflect social perception, and the ways design can make the world better. We also discuss Monotypte's new Peace and Conflict project—an open-source collection of icons created to provide a universal code for communicating hope, empathy, and humanity in times of increasing conflict, which is available to the public domain at Noun Project.
