Working Format [Ross Milne] Ross Milne (b. 1985) works and lives in Vancouver, Canada where he studied at the Emily Carr University. After graduating with a degree in Communication Design (2007), he moved to Den Haag, where he studied type design at the KABK, and graduated in 2008. In early 2009, he returned to Vancouver. He works as a contributing designer with Commercial Type while pursuing his own projects in graphic design and type design. His foundry and studio is called Working Format. His typefaces: He created the clean and elegant slab serif typeface Foxtrot (2008), which includes an interesting Hairline weight. Stag (2009, Commercial Type), co-designed with Christian Schwartz and Berton Hasebe. They write: Stag started as a small family of slab serifs commissioned for headlines by the US edition of Esquire magazine and eventually grew into a sprawling multi-part family including a flexible sans companion and two additional display variants that are probably best described as special effects. Charlie (2010, Typotheque). Echo Pro (2015, Typotheque) is a sans serif counterpart to Charlie typeface. Custom typefaces include Everyone (ca. 2013: a great fat rounded sans for the Sport BC brand), and Sled Island (2013: for a 4-day festival in Calgary. Buckshot (2015) is a script typeface inspired by lettering found on the Ile d'Orleans, Quebec. The peculiar lettering style is the result of one craft-person, well-known in the area but anonymous outside. In 2018, inspired by the same source, he published a similar vernacular typeface at Commercial Type, Superette. This Nice image of ribbon letters shows his talent. See also this neat b.
