Ian Swift

Bio

Ian “Swifty” Swift is a London-based graphic artist. Swifty first got the taste for graphic arts at The Face magazine in 1986. Using his signature “remix” visual style, he’s created countless iconic designs and logotypes for the music industry and youth culture via publications like Straight No Chaser and labels like Mo’ Wax. In 1997 he launched Typomatic, the UK’s first independent Font foundry. When Swifty shifted his focus towards art, he produced a body of work making use of nostalgia and camo. He more recently released a 374-page book, The Graphic Art of Ian Swift, chronicling his decades of graphic making.
