Swedish designer, born in 1965. He lives in Belgium and Sweden, and his foundry is called Fontcaster. Mårten Thavenius has a side-interest in screen typography. He develops user interfaces for online solutions, mostly complex web based applications and portal systems, and is currently working as a Senior GUI Architect at IBM. He designed FF Rattle Script in 2000. In 2006, he created two legible families (28 styles in all), Aptifer Sans ans Aptifer Slab, both published via Linotype. In 2010, he created Skilt Gothic (Font Bureau), about which Font Bureau writes: In the 1920s, Danish architect, printer, and designer Knud V. Engelhardt (1882-1931) prepared a series of striking types for signage, including those for the street signs in Gentofte, north of Copenhagen. Swedish designer Mårten Thavenius built upon some of the structural elements from Engelhardt's work to arrive at Skilt Gothic.
