A graduate of Musashino Art University in Tokyo, type designer Toshi Omagari joined Monotype shortly after receiving his master’s degree from the University of Reading in England. Toshi is proficient in drawing Latin, Greek, Cyrillic and Mongolian characters. In addition to his custom work for clients like Sir Quentin Blake and H&M, Toshi has remastered classic typefaces Metro Nova and Neue Haas Unica. “Designing type is an opportunity to maintain the visual aspects of a culture, as well as to bring it forward,” says Omagari.
