Jamie Clarke

Elliot sits down with Jamie Clarke — a  type designer and lettering artist who just happens to live in the same village in rural Somerset. Actually, Elliot and Jamie have been friends for years, and have been collaborating since the early days of 8 Faces. This is an edited version of a much longer ramblechat, in which they discuss Jamie’s forthcoming new typeface Nave, his self-initiated studio projects that have won him high-profile client work, the journey to his “third” career, and the threats and opportunities posed by AI.

A few things mentioned in this episode include:

• Jamie & Filip’s article on AI for Smashing Mag
• Type Design intensive (TDi) course at Reading
• The Dark Art of Pricing by Jessica Hische
• Price with Purpose by Gooodtype
