Milne has been teaching graphic design, typography, and digital font design at Monash University since 2006. He currently lives and works in Melbourne. Designer of Omnium (2005, a serif face). In 2009, he designed Tasman at KABK, a sturdy, rational, economical type family for news, designed to withstand difficult printing conditions. The typeface features hybrid old-style figures and compact capital letters that integrate well with the lowercase in fact-and-figure-heavy news content. It borrows its name from Abel Janszoon Tasman (1603-1659), a Dutch seafarer, explorer, and merchant who mapped parts of Australia in 1642, including Van Diemen's Land (now known as Tasmania). Tasman was published in 2019 by Retype, after a brief release by Ourtype. In association with Paul Barnes at Commercial Type, he designed Darby Sans (2014), Darby Sans Poster (2014), and Darby Serif (2019).
