Speakers
Bruno began his typographic career with a traditional apprenticeship as a typesetter at the Tages-Anzeiger, Switzerland’s largest daily newspaper, working with metal type, and later with photo and digital type. His further education at the Basel School of Design allowed Bruno to expand his technical and organizational skills into design and identity development, and cemented his interest in type design under the supervision of Andre Guertler and Wolfgang Weingart.
After graduating Bruno emigrated to England to take up a position at Monotype. He received in-depth training drawing letterforms using traditional hand skills and software. Monotype made him responsible for developing a ’custom font department’. After 18 months in England, Bruno was transferred to Monotype’s Chicago, IL, office where he continued to work with design and publishing clients to create brand specific fonts. He established Dalton Maag after returning to the UK in 1991 and has become one of the world’s leading typographic studios, designing fonts and logotypes for internationally well known brands.
Bruno’s background and experience make him a valuable addition to a brand team. As an external resource with a very specific skillset he is able to offer impartial advice to ensure the best possible result for the client. Bruno also lectures frequently in the UK and internationally on the subject of typography and its implementation within a brand environment.
