He grew up surrounded by the typography and calligraphy works of his late father Tony Forster, which lead him to develop a fascination with letterforms from an early age. Although he began his career working in graphic design, it wasn’t until his father passed away in 2008, when Dan was tasked with clearing out his father’s studio, that he became inspired to pick up a pen and start drawing letters again. This re-kindled love of letterforms lead to a career change and he’s never looked back.
Alongside client projects, he believes strongly in the importance of personal work, experimentation and actively seeking inspiration from outside sources, such as travel, architecture, cultural references and more, to help bring fresh perspectives and greater expression to his type and lettering work.
