Description
Jens Schildt is an independent graphic designer based in Stockholm, Sweden, with a special flair for typography, type design, research, and education. In 2008, he co-founded the design studio Our Polite Society together with longtime collaborator Matthias Kreutzer. In 2017, they expanded their collaboration by establishing OPS Type, a type foundry that began as a playground for project-based type designs, which has since developed into a platform for self-initiated projects, commissions, and custom typefaces. In 2023, Jens decided to leave Our Polite Society to establish his own practice while continuing to be a part of OPS Type. Since 2013, he has been sharing his knowledge through teaching at Graphic Design and Illustration at Konstfack in Stockholm.
