Australian Type Foundry began in 2001 as a commercial outlet for the fonts of designer Wayne Thompson. He felt the world of type design lacked a uniquely Australian contribution, and so he set about redressing the balance.
Fascinated by letters since he was a teenager, Wayne began with rub-down lettering and worked as a signwriter, photographer and journalist before settling into the design profession in the late 1980s. After 17 years as Art Director in several advertising agencies, Wayne now works full-time as a type designer. Wayne’s long term aims are to always learn more about typography, and hopefully contribute an Aussie flavour to the world of type design.
