It’s often tempting to admire a creative’s portfolio for the breadth of output and media it contains. When it comes to designers, we speak of (and often expect to see) publications, websites, identities, typefaces, posters, moving image, AR and VR – the list goes on. But the strength of Ones to Watch 2019 Jacob Wise’s portfolio is that he does (pretty much) one thing really, really well. Jacob is a typographer through and through. And that’s not to say he couldn’t do all those other things; he just chooses not to most of the time. Born in London to parents who are both designers , it was during his final year at Kingston School of Art that Jacob decided to hone his practice. His decision to “delve into typography” was taken both out of love for the tradition and as a backlash to the ever-growing uniformity of design courses. “The term ‘multidisciplinary creative’ was bandied around art school a great deal whilst I was there. I don’t have an issue with it as I think anyone creative is inherently able to understand other creative disciplines, but I do see the danger in design courses becoming too homogeneous,” he tells It’s Nice That. “Obviously it’s good to have that sense of freedom but with the creative industry becoming more cut-throat and competitive, I think the value of becoming a professional within a niche area should not be overlooked.”Accompanied by a childhood snap, Jacob tells us what it was like to grow up in such a creative household: “My parents are very creative so of course that rubbed off on me and my brother when growing up, but we never felt like we were pushed in a particular direction. I always knew I wanted to do something creative in life from a young age but it wasn’t really until I was introduced to graphic design that I was able to really focus my interests. My parents are no strangers to offering constructive critique but they are incredibly supportive of the work I do and I hope to think I make them proud!”Since graduating in 2017, becoming a professional in a niche area is exactly what Jacob’s been working on. What started as an internship in September of that year at revered Munich-based design studio Bureau Borsche turned into a job, one which he stills holds today. “I’ve lost track of what I’ve worked on,” he explains of his time there. “It’s great because everyone dips in and out of projects – you’re always doing bits and bobs from day-to-day which is fast-paced but refreshing. Since my primary focus is typography, I naturally end up working on much of the type, lettering and logo design for clients,” he adds. What’s it like living in Munich? There's good and bad, Jacob explains. “Pros: Swimming in the Isar river is a real joy in the summer months. The same can’t be said for London – good luck swimming in the Thames without catching dysentery.” The cons, on the other hand, include “commuting to work during Oktoberfest, which is a right pain in the arse”. And for anyone planning a trip to the Bavarian capital, the designer recommends Asams Church, which “I often take people to when they visit. Its interior has outrageously exaggerated baroque embellishments which adorn every inch of the place. It’s got some serious bombast.”Despite volunteering to dedicate his time specifically to typography, it’s clearly an area in which Jacob has innate, natural ability. Not limited to one aesthetic, his letterings are as sophisticated as they are expressive. Although accomplished as a technical designer, in the years since he acquired a spare copy of InDesign aged 14, his process has developed into something intuitive and instinctive. “I’m spending far longer refining bézier curves and on the precision of my typography than I was a couple of years back,” he remarks, but no matter how complex the type, he’s resolute about one thing: “I always start by sketching.”
