Role Overview:

Landor, Global Design Studio, is looking for a talented Senior Designer to join our multi-skilled and multicultural APAC studio team. The role focuses on creating strategically driven design solutions for corporate brands, with a strong emphasis on typography, corporate identity, brand systems, and packaging visuals. 

We are looking for a designer with a deep passion for type and typography, someone who understands how typeface selection, typography, hierarchy, spacing, composition, and lettering can shape a distinctive brand identity. The ideal candidate will have a portfolio that demonstrates strong typographic thinking and the ability to use typography as a central creative tool across branding, packaging, and visual identity systems. 

The candidate will explore and conceptualise design ideas, develop typography-led visual languages, and lead projects from concept through execution. As the role supports our APAC and Europe regions, the candidate may begin their day earlier to collaborate effectively across time zones while working closely with the broader global studio. 

 What you’ll do: 

• Collaborate closely with Design Directors and the wider creative team to develop strategically led, typography-focused design solutions. 

• Explore creative directions where type, fonts, lettering, and composition play a central role in defining the brand's visual language. 

• Translate brand strategy and creative briefs into distinctive typographic concepts and visual identities. 

• Develop and refine typographic systems, including typeface selection, hierarchy, layouts, grids, spacing, and applications across brand touchpoints. 

• Work extensively across corporate identity and packaging, creating strong typography-led visual systems that are distinctive, scalable, and commercially relevant. 

• Push beyond conventional type treatments to explore new and expressive ways of using typography within branding. 

• Demonstrate a strong understanding of how typography works alongside imagery, illustration, colour, and graphic elements to create a cohesive brand world. 

• Contribute to design development from initial concept through to final artwork, maintaining a high level of craft and attention to detail. 

• Work collaboratively with internal teams and, where relevant, clients, communicating design rationale and typographic thinking with clarity. 

 What you’ll need: 

• Previous experience in a similar role within a branding or design agency, with strong exposure to corporate branding, packaging, and visual identity. 

• A typography-led portfolio demonstrating a strong understanding and application of type across branding and packaging projects. 

• Deep knowledge and appreciation of typefaces, fonts, typography, lettering, hierarchy, grids, kerning, spacing, and composition. 

• A strong ability to select, manipulate, and develop typography to create distinctive brand expressions and visual systems. 

• Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, particularly Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop. 

• Strong understanding of how typography can work across different formats, from corporate identities and packaging to digital and physical brand applications. 

• Strong conceptual thinking, with the ability to translate strategy into distinctive, well-crafted typographic solutions. 

• A high level of attention to detail and craft, particularly in typography and layout. 

• A strong and relevant branding portfolio, with recent examples where typography plays a meaningful role in the creative idea and overall visual identity. 

• A genuine passion for typography and an interest in evolving how type can be used to build distinctive brands. 

We believe the best work happens when we're together, fostering creativity, collaboration, and connection. That's why we’ve adopted a hybrid approach, with teams in the office around four days a week. 

We build brands. We build futures. Landor, a WPP company, is an equal opportunity employer. We consider all applicants without discrimination or regard to particular characteristics, committed to a culture of respect where everyone belongs and can progress in their careers.
