Typography and the Future of Olympic Branding

Each Olympic Games introduces its own unique visual identity system, thoughtful designed to reflect the spirit of the host city while honoring the enduring legacy of the Olympics. The 2026 Winter Olympics, held from February 6-22 in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo, provided its own take on translating place and culture for local and global audiences. 

Charles Nix recently spoke with Print Magazine to share his take on the past, present, and future of Olympic branding, and the role type plays in shaping identity on a global stage. Read the full interview at Print Magazine.
