Matter of Sorts [Vincent Chan] Melbourne, Australia-based Vincent Chan trained as a graphic designer at Monash University in Melbourne and worked as a type designer at Commercial Type in New York between 2012-2014. He is currently a PhD candidate and teaching associate at Monash University. Speaker at ATypI 2018 in Antwerp. At Commercial Type, he helped with the designs of Giorgio Sans, Kommissar, Sanomat Sans, and Guardian Sans. Other typefaces by him include Recollection (2016), Quadrant Slab (2020), Quadrant Text (2020), and Mongrel Grotesque. He writes about Recollection: Recollection Text and Display were drawn in close collaboration with Dominic Hofstede: designer, teacher and adjunct senior research fellow at Monash University. They was designed specfically for the launch of the third iteration of the Re:collection archive in October 2016. The Recollection typefaces attempt to capture the spirit of Australian graphic design between 1960 and 1990. It refers to this rich period by looking inward, through the well-established intentions and aesthetic tropes of the time, to arrive at a familiar typographic form.
