ABOUT
Image by Duncan Wright
Based in Walyalup/Fremantle, Western Australia, Joseph founded Swim Type in 2021, runing the studio semi-professionally, working with clients and partners from right next door, to LA.
It exists as a place for play, experimentation and creativity – to dip a toe in, to test the water, to dive off the deep end, to immerse oneself – to swim. To build creative partnerships: working with photographers, illustrators, 3D designers, filmmakers, and writers to produce work that is engaging, meaningful and maybe, even fun.
BENEATH THE SURFACE:
Trial fonts, works in progress and potential typefaces. These fonts are unfinished or unreleased, often missing punctuation, symbols, language support and kerning. They’re for use in type testing, student work and non-commerical personal projects. They’re for playing with, testing out and having fun. So dip in a toe in, test the water and see what lies beneath the surface at Swim

Every 2 months, a new SWIM TYPE wordmark is designed for the homepage and socials. Sometimes it will tease the release of a new typeface; sometimes it might coincide with the launch of a new project; or, it might be an isolated incident – an experiment in weirdness, wackyness and type design.
