Barns, Gumbo and Scriptoriums with Type Designer, Matthijs Herzberg

Talk Paper Scissors

The Herzberg Design Co is a New Orleans based studio specializing in type design, brand identity, art direction, and everything related to letters; it’s a one-man operation founded by Dutchman Matthijs Herzberg. He focuses on unconventional and exuberant work, but always with a sharp eye for detail, quality, and purpose (as such, combining the best of New Orleans with the best of The Netherlands).

In this episode, you’ll hear why Matthijs loves letters, an analogy about type designers that fundamentally changes the way I understand the profession and what he’s working on now and next. This episode is ripe with metaphor and deep thinking about the role of type and the type designer in the larger realm of visual communications.

I'm all about interesting projects with interesting people!
