Announcing September’s Common Matters #5 first speakers!

We’re back in Manchester for our next Common Matters event, and we’d love for you to join us. See you on Thursday 11th September!

Wait… has the name changed? Yes it has, thanks for noticing.

Our events exist to power up our industry, giving a room full of engaged creatives their hit of inspiration around the topics that matter most. Now we’re back with three more fantastic speakers, each ready to share their hot take on what’s going on out there…

Speaker One

Chris Nott & William Richardson: Founders of Studio Drama

Welcome to the age of typographic distinction’

We’re entering a new age…one where brands can’t afford to sound the same, let alone look the same. As the dust settles on BLANDING a bolder future is emerging: one defined by typographic distinction.

Custom type is fast becoming one of the most strategic, expressive tools in the branding arsenal. Drawing on their experience designing typefaces for Mozilla, Heinz, Vogue, and more, they’ll share how bespoke typography strengthens brand ecosystems, drives recognition, and opens up new creative territory.

With ideas that challenge default thinking, this talk will arm you with a new perspective on type: beyond a design detail, as brand-defining infrastructure.
