About
Charles Nix is the Global Head of Creative Strategy at Monotype, and a designer, typographer and educator. He was lead designer for Helvetica Now and has designed a number of popular typefaces in the Monotype Library, including Walbaum and Hope Sans, which received a Certificate of Typographic Excellence in the 22nd Annual Type Directors Club Typeface Design Competition. He’s also designed custom typefaces for M&M’s and Progressive Insurance and contributed to the massive Google Noto project. "Helvetica’s longevity comes from its ability to remain in dialogue with changing technologies, cultures, and design practices. This session explores how a quintessentially Swiss typeface became globally pervasive—and how restoring a classic means balancing preservation with evolution." -- Charles Nix on Design in Dialogue: Connect + Transform Portrait: Courtesy of Monotype
