Kostas Bartsokas

Type Designer

Thessaloniki, Greece
I am a Greek type designer and typographer. During my freelance career in Greece, UK, and Norway, I focused and specialised in graphic design, illustration, web design, packaging, and animation but I finally chose to pursue my passion with typography. I hold an MA in Typeface Design from the University of Reading. I am a lover of good food, a travelling aficionado, and a collector of experiences.
