I am a designer, typographer and lecturer. I value clear communication. Typeface design and typography are a significant part of my professional life. I am an employee of the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design and I also teach at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków. I cooperate with the Politański Brand Design studio (pbd.pl). I am the originator and co-organizer of the Wrocław Type Forum conference. In my free time, I practise amateur mountain running and bouldering. Typeface design and typography are a significant part of my professional life: balancing black and white, organizing, guiding, learning, communicating, improving.
