ABOUT 
ARTHUR SCHWARZ

Arthur Schwarz is the co-founder of the independent type design studio Bolid System, together with Maël Bächtold. They create typefaces ranging from bold displays to extensive text families, always crafted with precision, purpose and care. They see type as a material that shapes how ideas are seen, read and understood.
