Colin Brignall
- ... that Colin Brignall, who began working at a typeface design studio as a photographer, ended up becoming an award-winning type designer without any formal training? Source: "In 1964, he joined Letraset as a photographic technician in the company’s type design studio. Before long a keen interest in letterforms surfaced and despite his lack of formal training, he showed promise in the design and artwork of display faces.", award
- ALT1:... that award-winning typeface designer Colin Brignall had no formal training in typography?

- Comment: Open to wording suggestions – the first hook is trying to emphasise that he essentially fell into an award-winning career by accident.

Article is new enough and long enough. I am not so sure if #5 says that he was recruited by ITC in 1996. I take all the sources are reliable for BLP sources? First hook is good, sourced and used inline. Article seems neutral and BLP compliant to me. Didn't notice any copyvio or plagiarism. QPQ checks out. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:16, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Jo-Jo Eumerus: The year (1996) was in a different ref; I've added a citation. 97198 (talk) 10:38, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
