For designer and art director Alex Haigh, an early obsession with type was the first clue that letters would take a leading role among his design devotions. The second came in the form of Miyagi and BAQ Rounded, two buzzed-about typefaces (released in 2008 and 2007, respectively) that solidified the UK-based designer’s own typographic talent. Finally, fed up with the dreary selections offered by the traditional online font foundries, Alex’s infatuation found level playing ground in HypeForType, a web-based type boutique launched earlier this year that offers work from today’s most compelling designers.
