ABOUT

Magio [Jan Matousek]

Jan Matousek (b. 1984) is a graphic and type designer based in Prague, Czechia. He studied at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design, Prague, graduating there in 2011. From 2011 until 2013, he worked as a graphic designer at Studio Najbrt, Prague. In 2018, he set up his own studio and type foundry, Magio. His typefaces:

• Squadron (2014-2019). The title Squadron that appears in the 1942 documentary on Czechoslovak airmen in Great Britain, was the initial inspiration for a photographic / typographic project, that resulted in the sturdy sans typeface family Squadron.
• Option (2015-2019). A typeface inspired by Helvetica, although it is a bit narrower and rounder.
• Stardust (2008). A scribbly font designed by connecting stars in constellations.
