Olle Eksell
Olle Eksell was born in 1918 in Kopparberg, Sweden. From 1930 to 1941, Olle studied illustration and graphic art in Stockholm under Hugo Steiner-Prag. He later worked at the Ervaco advertising agency in Sweden, where he met his future wife and life companion, Ruthel Eksell. In 1946, the newly married couple sailed with the Drottningholm ship to USA to continue their studies at the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles. In 1962, he designed the typeface Eksell Display, which was revived in 2015 in digital form by Göran Söderström, who published four styles, including a stencil. His design work covered a broad range, but Eksell Display was the only complete typeface created by him. He died in 2007. |
