Born in Vaasa, Finland, in 1967, Tomi Haaparanta Studied at the University of Industrial Arts in Helsinki, and at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin, Ireland, before working as an art director in Finland.
Haaparanta’s slightly irreverent sense of humor sneaks into his typeface designs. Although he has worked at several ad agencies and design studios, he finds his type design jobs to be some of the most rewarding—and fun—projects he’s worked on.
