Our Polite Society is a design practice with members based in Stockholm, Hamburg, and Montreal, operating at the intersection of graphic design, web development, type design, and research. With equal focus on screen-based interfaces and printed objects, the studio brings together medium-specific thinking, editorial strategies, and technological experimentation. Our Polite Society Type was founded in 2017 as a support structure for project-based type designs and has since grown into an autonomous space for self-initiated projects, commissions, and bespoke typefaces. Our Polite Society have been teaching at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy (Amsterdam) and the Royal Academy of Arts (The Hague), and are currently affiliated with the graphic design department of the École de design de l’UQAM (Montreal) and Beckmans College of Design (Stockholm).
