Co-founder, Creative Director and Design Lead
Jean P. Johnson
Jean commenced his career as a graphic designer and worked with global brands before founding "Designova" in 2012 as a design studio with a small team of designers. Later, inspired by his fascination with branding and logotypes, he shifted his focus to type design, and his first commercially recognized typeface, "Berlin," was created in 2015. Despite the challenges of COVID-19, he continued to design popular typefaces such as "Brooklyn" and "Nord," released under the brand "Fontastica," a type foundry he established in 2018. With increased market recognition, Fontastica eventually merged with Designova. Residing in Liverpool, Jean currently works as the Creative Director of Designova, leading a global team of designers, and has contributed his designs to over 80 commercial typefaces collectively produced by the foundry.
