Launched in April 2016, FEMME TYPE is Amber Weaver’s mission to generate long overdue recognition for women working in the type industry. “This is my baby,” she says. “It started with an Instagram account, and then I decided to publish a book. We managed to raise £10,000 through Kickstarter, and the final book featured the work of over 40 international female designers.” Spurred by the book’s reception, she decided to start a website too, “a digital archive that’s basically a feed of easily accessible content,” to support her aim of platforming female type designers.

EVERPRESS MEETS 03: Type in Focus with Fraser Muggeridge
Fraser Muggeridge’s eponymous graphic design studio is, in a word, multifaceted. Their output spans everything from artists’ books to exhibition catalogues, posters and websites, not to mention album covers. One of their latest, for Hot Chip’s A Bath Full of Ecstasy, leant in heavily to an anti-graphic design aesthetic. “I liked the fact that the Hot Chip cover was really boring, I liked the idea that it was almost like they couldn't afford a decent designer, or even a colour printer,” says Fraser. “This is an example of me as a designer intentionally getting into hot water with the design layouts, and then using a creative word to get out of the hole that I’ve made.”

EVERPRESS MEETS 03: Type in Focus with Anthony Burrill
Long-time Everpress favourite, Anthony Burrill, is driven by type with substance. Speaking on where he gets his inspiration, he reels off a list that includes the Paris Riots of May ‘68, the Civil Rights and Suffragette movements, Sister Corita Kent, the ‘pop art nun,’ and Katharine Hamnett meeting Thatcher in Downing Street. Burrill is one of the most well respected, and distinctive, figures working in type today for good reason. He has a long string of hit prints to his name, including the now-infamous ‘Work Hard and Be Nice to People,’ a message that could double up as his mantra.
