ABOUT







Alexander Örn

Malmö, Sweden-based designer, who set up Kanon Foundry in 2019 together with Tor Weibull. During his studies in Malmö, Sweden, Alexander Örn (b. 1993) designed the monoline sans typeface Prokrastina (2016). In 2017, he made the angular wedge serif typeface Rakel and the vernacular sans typeface Folke. In 2018, he added a typeface specially designed Amplitud for aircraft cockpits: there are many diagonal lines, which are less influenced by the (horizontal and vertical) vibrations of the airplane.

At Kanon Foundry, he designed the retail typeface Operand (2021, by Alexander Örn; a low contrast, almost monolinear sans serif that draws inspiration from the 1930s Scandinavian functionalist design era) and co-designed these corporate typefaces with Tor Weibull: the angular sans typefaces Bedow Head and Bedow Hand (2020), NLTG Wave Display & NLTG Wave Serif (for the Nordic Leisure Travel Group).
