The Designers Foundry and David Einwaller detail the development of their serif typeface Morion

Six years on from David Einwaller’s initial sketches in 2014, serif typeface Morion re-released via The Designers Foundry in 2020 as a revised, extended and reconsidered family of six weights for use at both text and display sizes. To mark the one-year anniversary of its re-release, the pair have launched a vibrant double-sided poster; and caught up with us to speak about the typeface’s development over the years. EM: How did you come together to release Morion through The Designers Foundry? DE: I’ve been working with The Designers Foundry since 2014 after they had seen a typeface I developed at university, it was a big step for me to release it as my first font with TDF. Over the following years remaining in close contact with TDF they always supported me in the process of designing new typefaces. It’s just felt very natural to work with them, also because they really pushed me to design promotional material like a raincoat and a fancy specimen later on.
