Top SchoolRafał Buchner is a font developer and type designer with nine years of experience, currently at Typotheque and a KABK Type & Media MA graduate. He specializes in code-driven, user-friendly typefaces and builds custom OpenType coding and tooling to streamline font development workflows. As co-founder of Blast Foundry he delivered bespoke type solutions for clients such as Deloitte and contributed to typefaces for a Disney series, and his collaboration credits include Typotheque’s award-winning Ping, Recursive for Google Fonts, and Roboto Serif.
